Their marriage produced three children Jocille Tucker, Dr. Donalyn Alexander, and Ronald Black. Muriel is best known for being a loving caregiver. While managing the Donald A. Black Insurance and Real Estate agency in Enid, Oklahoma for 45 years, she not only raised her children but lovingly helped raise John, Kyle, and Allen Black who she considered her children. Muriel could always be found reading story books to her children and grandchildren. She dedicated years of her life as a caregiver for Clarice and A.B. Vanderpool as well as her husbands. The Black home was always open and welcoming to family and friends who needed a meal, fellowship, comfort, or a place to stay.
Muriel was famous for the hours she spent sewing and quilting. Skills she taught to many of her children and grandchildren. Her special talent was hand-quilting. She loved quilting with friends at the Cherokee Strip Piecemakers Quilt Guild. Numerous quilts were made for family, but Muriel made hundreds of quilts that were donated to cancer patients to provide warmth and comfort. Muriel also supported her church through her prayers, presence, gifts, and service.

Donalyn and Joe Alexander share Dr. Austin and Kelsey Alexander, while Ronnie Black is blessed with Joe and wife, Ashley Black, and Madelyn Black.
