Born in England on 20 July 1886, daughter of James Gibson Nethery and Emily Nethery, she immigrated to Canada in 1912 and settled in Winnipeg where she married Henry Baker Muir (1887-?) on 22 May 1912. She worked for the Winnipeg School Board, working as a teacher (1915-1917, 1918-1919) and Principal of McPhillips Street School (1917-1918), then continuing in the classrooms at Aberdeen School (1921-1946) and River Heights School (1948), after which she appears to have retired. An active member of the Professional and Business Womens’ Club, she moved to British Columbia around January 1961 before dying at Victoria on 4 February 1961.
