the age of 74. She was born in St. Johnsbury March 7, 1932, the daughter

NASCAR fan with a special love of No. 3! Other interests included various
games of chance but nothing was better than bingo. Muriel loved animals
where her house welcomed dogs, cats and birds. She was always able to
say "I love you" with your name. On Nov. 29, 1952, she married Floyd E.
Taylor, who predeceased her April 20, 1996. Survivors include three sons,
Graig Taylor, of St. Johnsbury, Brian Taylor and his special friend Chris
Fessenden, of North Haverhill, N.H., and David Taylor, of St. Johnsbury;

Johnsbury, and Pamela and Ralph Bach, of East Concord; two brothers
and their wives, Bill and Katherine MacKay, of Waterford, and Maitland and
Sue MacKay, of Lyndonville; a sister, Margaret Irwin, of St. Johnsbury; 17
grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.
Muriel also leaves with love her brother-in-law, Don Taylor and his wife
Marlene; two sons-in-law, Ken Cushman and Wilbur Blake Sr.; and two
daughters-in-law, Sonja Newell and Rhonda Taylor. Funeral services will
