In Celebration of the Life of Muriel Shewchuk

It is with a heavy heart that the Canadian Operating Room Leaders Network Executive acknowledges the death of our friend, colleague and CORL executive Muriel Shewchuk. Muriel died on Thursday May 11, 2017. ...more...

Muriel was a founding member and original Co-Chair of CORL and represented CORL on the ORNAC board for several years. She was an outstanding Educator, Administrator and Mentor. She has always had the very best interests of Perioperative Nursing and Perioperative Leadership as one of her core drivers and has over the years contributed to their wellbeing in multiple ways and venues.

We were delighted to see Muriel when she attended the recent ORNAC National Conference 2017 in Niagara Falls and hear her share some of her history with ORNAC. She was thoroughly enjoying time with her many friends and colleagues at the numerous events and celebrations and that is how we remember and honour her.

The CORL team is also so proud to call her "one of our most accomplished members". We will miss her passion and spirit.

Thank-you Muriel for everything, we miss you and the entire CORL Network sends their heartfelt condolences to your family and friends...

We trust "that nothing good of Muriel's life will be lost, but will be of benefit to the world; that all that was important to her and everything in which she was great will be respected and mean much to those in the future"
