WOODALL, Muriel G. Of Austin, TX. Formerly of Kalamazoo, MI Muriel G. Woodall of Austin, TX, formerly of Kalamazoo, MI, was victorious and joined the Lord for rest and peace on Sunday, January 23, 2011. Muriel was an amazingly devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Despite the challenges she faced herself, she was the most kind and giving person that can be imagined.
Her faith in God and in the basic goodness of all people was strong and steady. She will be greatly missed. Muriel was a dedicated Registered Nurse for many years. She was esteemed by those who worked with her and was a treasure to those she cared for. Muriel was preceded in death by her first husband Verners Varnis when she was a young woman. She wonderfully raised two young boys on her own in a time before ‘single parenting’ had much social support. Eventually she remarried and then also outlived Williard Woodall.
Muriel is survived by her two sons, Harold G. Varnis of Austin, TX and Steven L. Varnis of Kingwood, TX; a daughter, Patricia J. Carnago of Mattawan, MI; and a brother, James A. Etterbeek of Midland Park, NJ. She also leaves four grandchildren, Naomi and Sofia Varnis, Mackenzie and Zach Carnago, whom she adored.
The family would like to thank the staff of Park Bend Health Center and Odyssey Hospice of Austin for the care they provided. Also, many thanks to the members and staff of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Portage, MI for fellowship and help over the years.
