Hull, Muriel Maureen

Antigonish, NS

May 01, 2025

Hull, Muriel Maureen, age 85, of Antigonish passed away on May 1, 2025, in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish.

Born in Grand Falls, Newfoundland, she was a daughter of the late Raymond James and Clara Muriel (King) Kelly.

Maureen had a long and proud career in health care.  After graduating from St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital in St. Johns, Newfoundland, she spent three years in Germany with her husband, Bill.   They returned to Newfoundland, where Maureen resumed her nursing career in Grand Falls, before spending 14 years at James Peyton Memorial Hospital in Gander as a Nursing Supervisor.   She took a job as Supervisor of Nursing at Cumberland Regional Hospital in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and in 1988, she worked as a Nursing Supervisor at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital and eventually Infectious Disease Control Coordinator, in GASHA.

In her retirement, she was an active member of St. Martha’s Regional Hospital Auxiliary and volunteered at the canteen at the hospital.  She enjoyed crosswords, and rug hooking but her great passion was knitting.

She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Bill; children, Greg Hull (Angie), St. Andrews; Joanne Hull, Gander, NL; and Jennifer Hull (James), Pictou; grandchildren, Alyssa (Michael), Daniella, Jessica (Luke), Jordan (Adam), Carly (Alex), Emma (Sam), and Kelly (Santaiya); great granddaughter, Georgia; siblings, Betty (Graham); Wayne (Sylvia), Colin (Sherril) and Dave (Philomena); many nieces and nephews and a long list of close friends across NL and NS.

Predeceased by her brother, Ernest (Dianne); siblings Raymond Jr. and Baby Girl Kelly, in infancy; and mother-and-father-in-law, Edith and Bill Hull, Sr.

Maureen was a proud mother who followed and supported her family in all their endeavours. As matriarch of the Hull household she welcomed many friends and friends of family as her own, anyone who visited felt welcomed and loved. A beloved wife, sister, mother, grandmother and most recently great grandmother, she will be missed by many. May she rest in peace knowing she made a huge impact on all who knew her. 

In Memoriam, donations to St. Martha’s Regional Hospital Auxiliary appreciated.
