Obituary of Muriel V. Shaver
Muriel V. Shaver entered into rest September 28, 2022. Born December 21, 1928, in the family farmhouse on Lapp Road in Clarence NY, she was the daughter of William and Bertha (Hoste) Bolt.
Muriel attended St. Mary's school in Swormville, N.Y. and was a longtime parishioner of All Saints Church in Lockport. She loved to crochet, play bingo and work jigsaw puzzles. Her favorite color was purple and her favorite flowers were yellow roses.
Muriel was known for determined spirit, and taking pride in her heritage, often referred to herself as a "stubborn German". She will be deeply missed.

Beloved mother of Debra (Robert) Hall, David (Francis) Shaver, Daniel (Angela) Shaver and Michael Shaver. Cherished grandmother of six and great-grandmother of four. Dear sister of Beatrice Alvord. Also survived by many nieces and nephews.

We are so sorry to learn of Muriel’s passing. What a truly kind and lovely woman. Please accept our very deepest condolences. We wish we could pay our respects in person on Monday but we are out of town. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Muriel babysat my 2 children in the early to mid 80s in the North end. Such a wonderful and loving woman. I so appreciated her and her seeming to enjoy the walk to and from my home (Hawley st) to spend day with my lil ones! Know my daughter had been in recent contact and both she and Muriel both reminisced about the “good old days”!
Muriel will be missed by those of us whom she shared her love and for just being “her.”
