HUTCHINSON, Muriel Leah Hutchinson
It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our Mother Muriel Leah Hutchinson (Hannon)
Born May 31st 1930 in Toronto Muriel often spoke of her childhood years spent with her family on Sumach St. and cherished their times together at Cherry Beach.
As a young woman she met and Married Lewis Alexander Hutchinson and together they had 8 children.
Muriel dedicated her life to raising her 8 children and although money was often tight, dinner was always home cooked and on the table promptly at 4 o’clock .
Muriel worked tirelessly as a homemaker but she was no ordinary Mother .
A stunningly beautiful woman, Muriel enjoyed dances at the Palais Royale Ballroom and a strong passion for music that she instilled in her children, many of whom pursued a career on stage.
When they were playing an event Mom was sure to attend and support them from the audience.
She was their biggest Fan.
Mom enjoyed adventure and outdoor excursions with her children often taking trips to Niagara Falls.
Once thinking a trip to Fenelon Falls would be similar to Niagara.. which became a story we would laugh about for years.
Muriel was busy with her children but also made room for her other passion, animals. Cats birds hamsters and at one time 5 dogs also called 403 Brock Ave Home.

Once her children were grown Muriel found a new passion her Grandchildren.
She was blessed with 13 Grandchildren and 18 Great Grandchildren who all hold a special place in her heart .
Muriel leaves this world just 15 days shy of her 96th Birthday.
It would be impossible to capture a life so long and so full in a few sentences here.
That can only be done through cherished memories that we now all hold dear.
Muriel is predeceased by father Robert Hannon, mother Mary Jane Hannon ( Adams), Sister Mildred Hannon, Daughter Dawn Marie ( Susie), Grandson Daniel.
She will be missed by her children: Joanne (Percy), Michael, Lewis ( Ann Marie ), Danny ( Shenny), Jimmy, Kevin ( Elaine),
Sean ( Heather).
Grandchildren:Leah, Steven,Jane,Sean,Stephanie,Janelle,Hayley,Johnny,Sarah,Steven,Billy,Liam.

The family would like to thank the caregivers and staff of Toronto Western Hospital, EW Bickle Care, St Joseph’s Hospital, Fountain View Care and Aftercare Cremation and Burial Services, for their hard work and dedication.
