Muriel Louise McClaflin, 92, of Wellington died on Thursday, October 29, 2020 at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. Born on July 21, 1928, she was the daughter of the late Nellie (nee Young) and Roy Baker.  She was a 1947 Brighton High School graduate, grew up in Rochester, moved to Bradenton, FL in 1973 and returned to Wellington in 1995.

Muriel previously worked at C.E.
