Muriel Douglas

April 1, 1937 — September 7, 2021

Muriel S. Douglas, age 84, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 7 at the Country Cottage in Plainview. Muriel was born on April 1, 1937 in Fountain City, the daughter of Raymond and Janet (Steen) Mueller. She met the love of her life, Paul Douglas, and they were united in marriage on February 1, 1954, in Rochester; together their union was blessed with three children.

Muriel was a homemaker before launching her business, Muriel Douglas' Draperies, in the comfort of her own basement. From there, she eventually grew the business into a location in St. Charles; she successfully ran her drapery business and the Hometown Variety store for many years until selling the business and retiring in 2016.

Muriel enjoyed sewing and quilting as her favorite pastime along with painting. She was also an outstanding cook and was once the winner of a brand-new electric stove because of her award-winning recipes. Above all, Muriel was most proud to be a wife, mom and grandma.

Muriel will always be missed by her husband of 67 years, Paul Douglas; children, Jon (Rita) Douglas of Lewiston, Kellie (Mark) Eggert of Lewiston, Bridget (Brian) Stenzel of Elgin; grandchildren, Lindsey (Marc) Potter, Paul Douglas, Austin, Grant, Blake, & Colten Eggert, Liz (Tyler) Meyers, Megan Stenzel, and Aaron Cowan; 8 great-grandchildren; siblings, Shirley (Ronnie) Johnston, Judy Ginther, June (Taisir) Mueller, Gwen Mathers; as well as many nieces, nephews, other extended family and close friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Janet; brothers-in-law, Dick Ginther and Steve Mathers.
