Muriel was the sweetest, kindest person I worked with. She will be missed! Condolences to her family. 💙
Miss Muriel Thompson was my first and second grade teacher in Grandin, ND. She was an excellent teacher. I remember our circle of chairs for reading, the Puzzle Pages book that got thicker through the year with all of the sticky white paste, the rhythm band sticks, and when Miss Thompson would stand by the door and say, “Stand, pass.” She was a superior teacher.
I worked with Muriel as a para at George Washington grade school in Moorhead. She always had a smile and kind words. Muriel was a very caring, sweet soul. My deepest sympathies to her family.
I had Mrs.Baukol for a grade school teacher. She was a great teacher. My sympathy to her family.
