We are saddened to announce the passing of Muriel H. Dodge, 86, who was a long- time resident of Princeton. Predeceased by her husband William 2 years ago, she is survived by her sons Clinton and William, and grandsons Jason and Andrew.

Muriel graduated from high school in Maywood, NJ, where she was a 3-sport varsity athlete. After graduating from Katharine Gibbs College, she worked for several major Wall Street firms, including one position as executive secretary for the CEO. When she moved to the Princeton area, she worked for FMC Corp. before meeting her husband William and starting a family. After her children were older, she resumed her career at the Montgomery Township administrative office for the Engineering department and for the Township Administrator.

Always a passionate volunteer and leader, Muriel was active in many local civic organizations. She was a volunteer EMT and ambulance driver for the Montgomery Township first aid squad, as well as supporting the broader NJ- state EMS community through the Gold Cross. She also served on the board of directors for the Lenape Swim Club.

In her retirement, she continued to be an active volunteer as a former President of the local 76ers Seniors of Rocky Hill, Secretary of Montgomery Township Senior Citizens, the Present Day Club, and was treasurer of the Montgomery Women's Club and several local churches. Finally, after moving to the Princeton Windrows Community, she was active in numerous committees including Finance, Culinary, and Transportation. Her interests and hobbies included finance and investment clubs, travel, and playing the organ.

Muriel was known by friends and family for her warm smile, hearty laugh, and friendly handshake extended to those around her. She cared deeply for those around her and was always ready to help a friend in need.

A funeral service will be held this Friday, February 27, at 11 a.m. at the All Saints' Episcopal Church, 16 All Saints' Road in Princeton. Friends are welcome to call from 9 a.m. until the time of service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Eden Autism Services Foundation, 2 Merwick Road, Princeton, NJ 08540.
