Sister Muriel Rhyne served beautifully in God’s vineyard. As a King’s Daughter she served with grace. Family, may cherished memories comfort you. Praying for you🙏🏽💐wrote on December 28, 2025 at 2:24 pm
Aunt Muriel, affectionately known as Aunt Polly, and I shared the same birthday month. We were both March babies. Hers was on the first and mine was on the seventh and every year for as long as I could remember she sent me a birthday card. I remember one time about 10 years ago, I stopped through Huntsville while on a business trip. She took me to the Olive Garden and then we spent hours at her house just talking. That was not too long after I had lost Joe and since she had lost Uncle Joe, she and I had some very meaningful conversations . She is definitely missed and we cannot wait to get to that grand family reunion around the tree of life! Toye, Tina and Joe, we share your grief and love you guys.wrote on December 27, 2025 at 11:21 pm
In our brief lives, we are given the wonderful opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those around us. As Christians, it is essential for us to embrace this chance to create meaningful impact, especially in a world often focused on self-promotion. During my time at Oakwood in the mid-'80s, I was fortunate to witness my godmother, affectionately known as Aunt Muriel, embodying selflessness through her acts of kindness. Her warm hospitality shone through Sabbath meals, her undivided attention, and the genuine love she showed everyone she encountered. I've come to appreciate these same qualities in my brother and sisters (Joe, Toye, and Tina). Though she may be at rest, Aunt Muriel's spirit will live on through the legacy of fond memories her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her will always remember.

Mom was a Magnificent, Understanding, Resilient, Inspiring, Elegant, Loving Mother, who will always hold a place in my heart. Praise God for blessing me with such a beautiful Mother, both outward and inwardly. The best Mom a son could have. I pray for Jesus' soon return, long for that day and hope to be united as a family once again. What a time it will be, when all of God's children get to Heaven!wrote on December 18, 2025 at 10:35 am
Aunt Muriel supported all of her nieces and nephews during their Oakwood days. We had a standing Sabbath Dinner invite. She cashed the checks our parents sent. She allowed us to store our belongings in her garage over the summer. She was our sweet mom away from home. Aunt Muriel talked to my dad every week in his later years. He was so happy for those calls. My dad loved to go to Huntsville and see his sister. They always ate at the Olive Garden. Soon we will be done with the troubles of the world. Let’s not miss the reunion. Toye, Tina and Joe we love you❤️.wrote on December 15, 2025 at 12:08 pm
Muriel was the last of my six siblings. She was also next to me agewise. We spent many hours together getting into mischief. She even wore my Levis to a picnic one day. We attended Andrews(EMC) together. It seemed almost scary that my lawn was serviced last week by the son of the man (Caesar Bush) who gave her the nickname POLLY. I look forward to reuniting with her in the kingdom.wrote on December 14, 2025 at 4:44 am
Muriel’s life was a blessing to many. Her faith, kindness, and quiet strength touched all who knew her. She will be remembered with love and gratitude.
