Kubelle, 80, of Norwalk, CT, died peacefully with her family by her side on September 14, 2017.  She was predeceased by her husband, Gerald; parents Frank & Katherine Veit, and brother and sister-in-law George & Marie Veit. Born in Stamford on April 29, 1937, she had been a resident of Norwalk for over 50 years.

She is survived by her four loving children, Sharon Kubelle of Norwalk; Deborah O’Brien and husband Thomas of Norwalk; Jerry Kubelle and wife Dina of Winter Park, FL; and Frank Kubelle and wife Fran of Trumbull, CT.

Muriel loved her family above all else. She took great pleasure in cooking and baking for her family.  Failing health in recent years limited her activity but she still enjoyed every opportunity to spend time with her family.  She greatly enjoyed feeding and watching birds in her yard, crocheting baby blankets for Binky Patrol for distribution to babies in hospitals and homeless shelters, playing games on her iPad, watching the New York Yankees and UConn women’s basketball games on TV, and, most especially, the occasional trip to the casino with her sister and brother-in-law.

The family will receive friends at Hoyt Cognetta Funeral Home and Crematory, 5 East Wall Street, Norwalk, CT on Tuesday September 19, 2017 from 8:30 to 10:00 AM. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10:30 AM at St. Matthew Church, 216 Scribner Avenue, Norwalk, CT.  Interment will follow at St. John’s Cemetery, 223 Richards Avenue, Norwalk, CT.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her memory to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.  Please visit www.norwalkfh.com for more information.
