Murielโs life has been filled with both joy and hardship. Her husband passed away when she was just 62, and she later experienced the loss of her daughter as well.
Even with these heartbreaks, she describes her life overall as โgreat.โ
Her secret? ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐ฑ.
Muriel leaned into the power of her female friendships. They brought her laughter, companionship, and support through every season of life.
She encourages others to do the same, reminding us that fulfillment doesnโt have to come from a partner. It can also be found in the richness of friendships that keep us connected, engaged, and never truly lonely.

Without hesitation, Muriel says: โ๐๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ!โ When she graduated high school, Pearl Harbor had just happened.
With the men heading to war, women stepped into the workforce. Muriel went into modeling, but she often wished sheโd had the chance to pursue a career path shaped by higher education.
Her advice to todayโs younger generation is to embrace every opportunity to learn whether through college, training, or lifelong growth.
โจ At 103, Murielโs wisdom is simple yet powerful: ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ง๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐ฑ๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ฑ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ.
