Muriel Factor
On January 26, 2020 Muriel received her wings and ended her suffering from a long battle with the terrible disease Dementia.
The last several years have been very difficult for Muriel and her family. Muriel was diagnosed back in November of 2015 with Dementia and a short time later with stage 4 chronic kidney disease. A while after the diagnosis her only son quit his job to take care of her and become her full time caregiver. From then she slowly started declining with the issues becoming more pronounced, her memory, day to day activity’s and all other daily functions.(eating, bathing, dressing, and etc.) then in April of 2019 the disease was becoming more pronounced where she even fell and broke her hip. She had surgery and then was placed in a rehabilitation facility for physical therapy and within a few days contracted C-Diff Colitis. Unfortunately the infection took its toll on her physically, and mentally, and with Dementia, made things even worse.
Muriel has been in home hospice care almost leaving the rehabilitation facility. And within the week of Thanksgiving she started rapidly declining. Only now being able to take down a few bites ever so often to even only being able to get water through a syringe for hydration (without having the strength to chew or drink through a straw.) Muriel has always been s survivor. Raised in a catholic convent at a very young age (her mother was stricken with tuberculosis) she ran away in her early teens and started working as a housekeeper basically till she was 69 years old. Only married once to a WW2 vet and is survived by her only loving son. Muriel has been through hell and back. Dementia, chronic kidney disease, broken hip and C-Diff colitis, she passed everyone’s expectations but even with her strong will and spirituality, God had decided to ease her suffering.
We ask for prayers for her and her family.
She will be greatly missed!

A beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing her story and being there for her.
What an interesting life! Being an only child myself I hope her son remembers the wonderful times that a parent and child can share when it’s just them. And in reading her story, what a wonderful son it sounds like she had. Rest easy now beautiful lady!

It would have been a pleasure and a blessing to have known you Muriel. I only got to know you a little through your son, Larry, as he cared for you. To have raised a son that took such loving care of you is a testament to the kind of mother you were and the kind of man he is. God Bless you Larry – you are an inspiration to many. Muriel rest in peace at last. Maybe I will still get the chance to meet you one day!
May you rest in peace. Larry has shared his love for you with so many and painted a picture of you’re beauty for the world to see. Rest easy is the arms of the Lord.
Sending prayers ~
An extraordinary life for an extraordinary woman…may she Rest In Peace. I am very sorry for your loss.
While I didn’t know Muriel personally, I feel that I was able to know her through what her son Larry shared. Please accept my condolences on the loss of this lovely lady.
So very sorry for the loss of your mother.
They really were the greatest generation.
Strong beyond belief but also very kind. ❤️
Beautiful tribute what strength and love looks like. So happy she’s not suffering and how wonderful for her to be so loved. May your own heart heal and carry on her legacy.
Rest in peace, beautiful lady 💜
God speed…. prayers for you during this most difficult time, your mom is an angel in heaven now pain free, she will suffer no more!
Sweet Mrs.. Muriel. Rest in peace.
You are with the angels ❤️🙏❤️
May your so be at peace Muriel. Larry, you did a wonderful thing caring and loving her, your lovely mom.
While Muriel’s story sounds tragic, I see it as a love story. A thousand people at a funeral is nothing compared to one very caring son. Though she suffered many challenging ailments, Muriel was blessed to have a wonderful husband who served his country, and one very loving son. She didn’t need quantity – she had quality. And, as strange as this sounds, I thank the colitis for taking her away from the wrath of dementia. Finally, I have to think that her dementia and other illnesses were only the bulk of this tribute, but not of her entire life. I’m sure she enjoyed many wonderful moments. Rest in peace now Muriel. Your mind is yours again. Welcome home.
May her beautiful soul Rest In Peace. I pray that her son and family all find themselves blanketed with the much needed support and comfort during this difficult time. You will be remembered.
May God bless you and your family!
RIP Muriel beloved mother of Larry. Sending sincere condolences from New Zealand.
To Muriel…may your life be measured by those whose lives you touched. May you now soar to your eternal greatness.
So sorry for your loss Larry. Your mom was a strong woman. Heaven has gained an angel. Your guardian angel.
Muriel will be remembered. She made a difference. She raised a devoted son, and passed on a legacy of respect, care and unconditional love. May she Rest In Peace, and May her family find peace.
What a strong and beautiful lady. And she raised a strong and beautiful son. Blessings for all.
Bless her heart…. May memories and the hope of seeing each other again bring some measure of comfort….
Rest In Peace. Peace be with you too Larry.
Rest In Peace sweet angel💕you sound like a very strong interesting woman I’d wished I’d met.
To my loving mother. Took me a whole year to actually say goodbye. How I missed you so much. You deserved not of this and the only thing you ever care about was that I’m alright.. I will never forget you and I hope to see both you and dad soon.. your loving son always. Rest in peace. Mom…
