Muriel Frances Lynn was born April 11, 1927 in Dearborn, Mich., the first child of Clifford and Ila (Dafoe) Morgan, and passed away with family at her side in Portland, March 19, 2019 at the age of 91.
Muriel grew up in Oak Ridge, Ore., attending Oak Ridge High School. She married Robert Warren Lynn in Portland Oct. 13, 1950. She began her studies at Linfield before transferring to Good Samaritan and obtaining her nursing certification. Following a break in her nursing career to raise her family, she resumed work at Eastmoreland General Hospital and later Reedway Retirement Center. She retired in 1995.
Muriel served as president of the Woodstock Grade School P.T.A, was involved in church activities at Trinity Methodist, and enjoyed knitting and card games. But she found her greatest joy in supporting her family, whether as a Den Mother, Little League scorekeeper, or hosting family gatherings as mother and grandmother.
Muriel was preceded in death by her husband, Robert in 2000; by a daughter, Judy K. "Lynn" Lambert; and by a brother, Ross Morgan. She will be remembered by her children, Robert Lynn, Mark Lynn and wife Rita and Dianne Neffendorf and husband Dale; son-in-law, John Lambert; seven grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
Muriel's life will be celebrated at 11 a.m., Friday, March 29, 2019, at Lincoln Memorial Funeral Home, 11801 S.E. Mt. Scott Blvd., Portland. A reception will follow. Entombment will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the American Cancer Society.
