Muriel Rita Bryan-Hertz
April 25, 1931 – April 19, 2026

We wish to announce the peaceful passing of Muriel Bryan-Hertz in Rocky Mountain House, Alta., on April 19, 2026, just six days shy of her 95th birthday.

Muriel was our beloved matriarch — a woman whose beauty was only ever matched by her charm, charisma and quiet regality. In her younger years she was lovingly known as “Babe,” a moniker that stayed with her, woven gently through the years.

She loved deeply and doted on those closest to her. As a grandmother and great-grandmother, she gave freely of her affection — with hugs, kisses and her signature cheek pinches. She loved summer, gardening, travelling and making new friends wherever she went.

Muriel will be forever loved and remembered by her son, Donald Bryan (Jo-Ann); her grandchildren: Jaymie Bryan (Greg Sakell), Christina Bryan, April Bryan, Dawn Bryan, Kayla Parasynchuk (Ryan), Matt Bryan, and Tara Smith; and her great-grandchildren: Ryley Osness, Brayden McDonald, Andrea Gunderson, Jayce Bryan, Cohen Janson, Aryanna Parasynchuk, George Sakell, Brynnley Bryan Jones and Jackson Cullum.

She was predeceased by her first husband, Andrew Bryan (2000), her daughter Karla Bryan (2021), her second husband Adam Hertz (2020), her siblings, and her parents.

A big thank you to the staff at the Clearwater Centre, who were an instrumental part of Muriel’s daily routines, care and comfort. We thank them for the work they put in every day, and for their dedication in keeping our elders safe, warm and comforted.

We want to also thank the Rocky Funeral Home for their excellence in their services, and for their support during this challenging time.
