Obituary of Muriel Bernice Young
Muriel Bernice Young
Born: April 8, 1932
Died: August 26, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mom, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was called home on August 26, 2025.
Muriel was born in Shellbrook, but the family lived in Penn Station until she was 15 years old.
While living in Penn the family was forced into the lake due to a fire moving close to the cabin. This incident, with the fire, was something she never forgot, and the fear of fire followed her for the rest of her life.
With the death of her father, the family moved to Mont Nebo. She went to school in Fur Lake and Mont Nebo.
She met and married Bobby (Robert) Young and lived at the farm in Mont Nebo till July 2025.
With the three boys raised and gone, Muriel had some free time on her hands. She got her driver’s license. She got the call to work for the Lord, studying and becoming a lay reader with the Anglican Church.
She helped with keeping St Luke’s church open, organizing Sunday services, keeping the yard mowed and the church clean.
She attended many church functions throughout the Prince Albert area. Many of these trips were made with her neighbor and good friend Grace Hatch. In fact, they travelled so much together, when someone asked where Muriel was, Bobby would reply “Willy & Waylon are on the road again”.
Later years, when Grace was unable to attend these functions, she hit the road with her sister Inez, who then became her travel buddy.
As the years passed and Muriel needed help, Bradley moved out to the farm, without hesitation and took on the roll as her caregiver, so that she could live out her life by staying in her home.
Muriel Young (nee MacDonald) is lovingly remembered by her sons Bradley, Lanson (Sharon), Mark (Connie); brother Victor MacDonald (Karen); grandchildren Scott, Tennille, Bethany, Connor, and Alexia; and her great-grandchildren.
Muriel was predeceased by her husband Robert (Bobby) Young; parents Roderick & Margaret MacDonald; Norman, Hector, and Leonard; sisters Inez MacDonald and Joan Neefs; grandchildren Kimberley and Justin.
We would like to take this time to thank all the nurses, Drs, and staff at Shellbrook Hospital for all the wonderful care they gave our mom while she was in the hospital. We would also like to thank the staff at Wheatland Lodge in Leask, for the help and care they gave her in her brief stay. We also wish to thank all of those who have helped us at this difficult time.
Funeral Service will be held at 2:00PM on Friday, September 5, 2025, at Mont Nebo Community Hall. Interment will follow at the St. Luke’s Cemetery, Mont Nebo, SK.
In lieu of tributes, donations may be made in memory of Muriel to St. Luke's Anglican Church Mont Nebo (stlukesmontnebo@outlook.com).
