Muriel (Midge) Anderson, 76, of Langdon, ND passed away on Monday, August 27, 2012 at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks, ND.

Muriel was born July 17, 1936 to Thomas and Yvonne (Longtin) McKinnon on the family farm near Walhalla, ND. She was educated in the Walhalla area. Muriel married Kenneth E. Anderson on October 20, 1952 at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Walhalla. They welcomed two sons, Miles and David, to their marriage. For the first few years of their marriage, they lived on the family farm, and Muriel worked hard with all the chores and cooking meals.

Muriel enjoyed playing cards, bingo, bowling, cooking, and cleaning. She also enjoyed spending the winter months in Arizona.
