It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Muriel Sloan, 2 weeks shy of her 98th birthday. Muriel was born in Edmonton, Alberta to proud parents Bernie and Ethel Dennett. She was the eldest sibling to Marion, Pat, Bud and Billie.
Muriel spent her younger years in Alberta, completing grade 1 though 12 at St. Joseph’s Convent in Red Deer, before enlisting in the navy during WWII on her 18th birthday. Shortly after the war ended she met her husband Alfred with whom she had four children; Don (Jennifer), Dawnalea, Deane (Kathy) and Dennett and 8 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. They lived throughout Alberta while spending many summers in Blind Bay, BC before retiring there permanently in 1991.
Muriel was pre-deceased by her husband Alf, grandson Tarl, daughter-in-law Kathy, and youngest son Dennett.
Muriel passed away peacefully at home in her sleep, with her dog Judy the 4th curled up beside her. At her request there will not be a service and her ashes will be placed with Alf in the family plot in Red Deer.

Recently, my mom passed away suddenly in Palm Springs, California. My dad was devastated with grief, but he had some... amazing friends nearby who helped him thru the process.In order to start that process, they needed the name of a funeral service in Salmon Arm that the people in the states could be in contact with about the handling of the remains. One of the friends recommended Fischer's Funeral Services, so they were called and They were amazing..they handled all the paperwork and kept in close contact with both the funeral homes and the people dealing with certificates and such. They will also help the spouse with some paperwork regarding taxes if necessary.When my father and I went to see them regarding my mother's wishes, they were so accommodating and did not hesitate to do everything they could to make this as pleasant as they possibly could. We even changed our minds a few times about things at the last minute, and they made it all happen just the way we wanted.My mother didn't have the usual service and it was the best choice we could have made for her and Fischer's did everything to make the day absolutely beautiful from the room setup to the layout of the flowers and urn. They also supplied all the little stuff that you don't even think about in a time like that( paper plates, cutlery, coffee, tea, etc...) and it took a giant load off of my mind so I could concentrate on making this the best send off I could for my mom and for that, I will be forever grateful.I am quite bad to judge how much food and such to get for events , we had way, way too much leftover, but I felt happy about it because I knew it wouldn't go to waste. It gets donated to the local Women's shelter and so I feel that even though my mom is gone, she is still giving to others, and that is the best feeling.I was amazed at the cost of the service. I have heard horror stories about the thousands and thousands of dollars it can cost and I was concerned because of the situation in dealing with the US that the cost would be one of those stories, but that was the most reasonable cost I have ever seen, and a house will not have to be mortgaged to pay for it ... 😊A BIG shout out to Fischer's for all you did for me and my father and may the Heavens bless you both!read more
