She was preceded in death by her parents, Lionel Scott, Sr. and Loraine Fontenelle Scott; her sisters, Loraine Dolan (John) and Jacqueline Meunier; and her brother, Lionel Scott, Jr. (Adel).

Muriel is survived by her loving husband of 73 ½ years, Richard Joseph Trahan, Sr.; her daughter, Loralice Trahan Keeffe (Michael); her son, Richard Joseph Trahan, Jr. (Dale); her grandchildren, Brandon Lobell (Sarah), Myles Trahan (Chantel), and Brandon Williams; and her great grandchildren, Zoë Lobell, Presley Lobell, Liv Lobell, and Socorro Trahan. She is also survived by her devoted nephew, Roger Meunier, her loving nieces, Susan Hasney and Cindy Parfait, and other nephews, and her caring extended family, Esther Bateman, Elena Bateman, and Claire Wimprine.

Muriel was born in New Orleans on September 23, 1928. She was a parishioner of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, where she was also an active member of their Rosary Altar Society.

Muriel loved spending time with and taking care of her family by creating a warm and inviting home with wonderful meals and playing cards with her friends and grandchildren. She enjoyed reminiscing of her childhood on Camp Street and attending St. Stephen Catholic School and Church.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Monty Glorioso for his wonderful care; Muriel’s care-givers (Annie, Sheila, Juanita, Dimple, Monica, and Bae), who took such good care of her for the last five years; and Donna Hummel (St. Catherine of Siena Rosary Altar Society) for her continuous spiritual support.

In lieu of flowers, the family request donations to the St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church Forward in Faith Capital Campaign, https://scschurch.com/forward or to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, https://alzfdn.org/donate
