She was in charge of many church dinners, serving family funerals, senior dinners, countless baby and wedding showers. In the 60s Murel was the correspondence care group leader for her church. She sent countless letters to our members serving in the military during Viet Nam. She always had a gift to send cards and letters over the years to many church members, family and friends. She sold hundreds of homemade fried pies as a missionary fund raiser. Her famous chocolate sheet cake was always requested at many church dinners. Murel loved to crochet; she made countless gifts of crocheted afghans and baby blankets. Many of us have something Murel crocheted. In her later retirement, Murel was an avid reader.
