After an eight-year courageous journey with Alzheimer’s, Muriel Marie (Price) Lebeau, also belovedly known as Nan, Nanny Noo Noo, Moo Moo, peacefully passed away, 20 October 2025, at the age of seventy-five. Until the very end, Muriel maintained her genuine care for others, kindness, love of family and friends, and gratitude for a blessed life that was filled with thousands of wonderful experiences.
She will forever be lovingly remembered by Ray, her husband and best friend of sixty years, daughters Michelle Chapman (Chris), Danielle Lebeau (Luc) and Dana Lebeau (Jonas). Muriel was a proud and loving Nanny to nine terrific grandchildren, Nicholas Bourdon, Kody Briscoe, Raiel Chapman, Jayme Briscoe, Isabelle Bourdon, Danika Bourdon, Sadie Veitch (Dad – Chris), Carter and Nathan Chapman.

Ray, Michelle, Danielle, Dana and families. I was saddened to hear of Muriel’s passing and want to express my sincere condolences to you at this difficult time. She was indeed blessed to have the love, care and support from you all, who so selflessly travelled with her through the whole journey. Family and friends from far and wide too were included. We all loved her.
And what a fulfilling day we spent together in Niagara Falls six years ago, when the 3 sisters, Florrie, Muriel, and Bev, along with Ray & Rob invited me to join them for a day of touring and fun, ending with a lovely meal in a restaurant overlooking the falls. Muriel and I sat across from each other, and had a great chat and laugh. It was indeed very special, and facilitated by you Ray, taking the time for Muriel and yourself to see Florrie & I while we were visiting from NF. These are the memories we hang unto. You all have own memories to cherish and they will never fade.
Thinking of you all as you mourn your deep loss and celebrate the life of “beautiful Muriel”. God Bless. Love Gloria
