Muriel Margaret Jamieson

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Muriel Margaret Jamieson, on October 3rd, 2024, at Grace Hospital ICU. Muriel will be deeply missed by a wide circle of dear friends across Canada, the United States and in Scotland. Muriel was pre-deceased by her father, John Shaw, her husband, James (Jim) Jamieson, and her final love, Jim Smith.

Muriel will be lovingly remembered for her generous spirit, sharp wit, deep knowledge of English, and her passion for teaching. After many years of dedicated service in the Winnipeg School Division, she went on to share her expertise and classroom experience with Education students at both the University of Winnipeg and the University of Manitoba, helping to shape a new generation of English Language Arts teachers. Muriel's love of travel took her around the world, and after her "retirement" from education, she became a Travel Consultant with Expedia. In this role, just as in her teaching, her skill and care in helping others were unmatched.

Thank you to the nurses and doctors of the ICU at Grace Hospital for their compassionate care during Muriel’s final moments.

A celebration of Muriel’s life will be held on October 26, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd in Winnipeg.

In lieu of flowers, should friends so desire, a gift in Muriel’s memory can be made to The Winnipeg Humane Society, the Salvation Army, or the Biochemistry Scholarship created in Muriel’s late husband’s name, James Chilles Jamieson, at the University of Manitoba.
