Muriel Elizabeth (Smith) Morine, 86 of Avonport, passed away peacefully on September 14, 2021 in the Valley Regional Hospital with her loving family by her side.  Born in Grand Pré, she was the daughter of the late Bower and Leona Smith.

Muriel adored life and what it had to offer.

She will be lovingly remembered by her son, Larry (Judy) Morine; grandchildren, Stephany (Joe) MacDow and Anthony (Stacey) Morine; great-grandson, Ryker MacDow; brother, Paul Smith; companion, George Thompson and his children; special nephew, Dale Smith, who lived with Muriel for many years and continued to be a part of her life; and several nieces and nephews.
