Muriel J. Schreurs, 89, of Cedar Grove, went home to her Lord and
Savior, on Friday, August 6, 2021 at Aurora Grafton Medical Center.
Muriel Schreurs was born on October 17,1931, in the Town of Holland,
WI to Albert and Amy (Rushton) Schreurs on the farm that her Grandpa
and Grandma Schreurs homesteaded after immigrating from the
Netherlands. She lived on the homestead with her brother and sister
her entire life. She was a graduate of Cedar Grove High School. Muriel
was employed at VandeWall Grocery Store in Cedar Grove for many
years. The store was eventually sold to the Oras family for whom she
worked until the store was closed. She then finished her career at
Tolibia Cheese.
She was a lifelong member of Calvary Orthodox Presbyterian Church in
Cedar Grove, where she taught Sunday School, was an active member
of the Esther Society and the Women’s Missionary Society and helped
with many events involving the kitchen using her gifts of hospitality.
Muriel enjoyed making jig saw puzzles, cooking, reading, birdwatching,
playing bingo and rook at the nursing home with friends. She was a
faithful, hardworking woman, who went out of her way to be of service
to others. She was a loving friend and neighbor who was a continual
witness for her Lord.
Muriel is survived by her cousins, Howard (Nancy) Rushton and Robert
Walvoort; dear friends, Dan & Leona Theune and Sharon & Allan
Claerbaut; and many other extended family members and friends.
Muriel was preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Amy; sister,
Harriet Lillian Schruers; infant sister, Lillian Schreurs; brother, Lloyd
Robert Schreurs; as well as many other relatives and close friends.
A celebration of life to honor Muriel and her sister, Harriet Schreurs,
who passed away during the pandemic in April of 2020, will be held on
Saturday August 14, 2021, at 11:00 am at Calvary Orthodox
Presbyterian Church in Cedar Grove with Rev. David Cornette
officiating. Family and friends are welcome for a time of visitation from
9:30 am until the time of service at 11:00 am. Burial will follow at Union
Cemetery.
Memorial contributions can be given in her name to Calvary Orthodox
Presbyterian Church.
The family would like to extend their gratitude for the outstanding care
that Cedar Grove Gardens provided Muriel and Harriet throughout the
years, the many church family members and others who so faithfully
called and visited them, and to Dan and Leona Theune for their gift of
seasonal room decorating, helping with wardrobes, and providing
continual reading material for Muriel and Harriet.
