Muriel Irene Beaulieu

Muriel was born on July 1, 1928 in Bristol, New Hampshire to Gertrude (Moody) and Merville Hadley. She was a 1946 graduate of Bristol High School. She worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Boston after attending Shepherd School of Nursing in Boston in 1947 and earning a diploma from the Household Nursing Association of Attendant Nursing in Boston in 1948. She married Robert Beaulieu in Boston in 1950 and they raised their family in Burlington, Massachusetts before retiring to Naples in 1986, where she enjoyed golf, jigsaw puzzles, Scrabble, and, especially, watercolor painting.
