Muriel A. Mcburnie

McBurnie, Muriel A. (Hirtle) of North Weymouth, passed away at age of 91 on May 27, 2021. Muriel was born in Quincy to the late Fletcher and Minnie Hirtle and attended North Quincy High School. Muriel lived in North Weymouth for 70 years and was a long time employee of Rockland Trust as a Mortgage Collector until her retirement. She took pleasure in gardening and traveling to Nova Scotia, Hilton Head Island, Hawaii, Portland Head Lighthouse, and the Canadian Rockies. Muriel loved spending time with her family, making Sunday dinners, hosting her annual July 3rd party, and always looked forward to Patriots game day. She will be remembered as a kind, loyal, loving, feisty woman who enjoyed a baked stuffed lobster and a dark and stormy cocktail. In her later years, she loved sipping on an iced coffee, reminiscing over old photos, and sitting outside in the sunshine. Muriel was immensely proud of the family she raised and leaves behind nothing but beautiful memories. She will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
