Beverly J Muranyi, devoted wife, mother and grandmother, passed on to eternal
life on Thursday March 14, 2019 at Monroe Clinic Hospital. She was 90.
She was born in Buffalo, NY on October 27, 1928 to
LeRoy and Bertha (Jividen) Hicks. In August 1950 she married Stephen M Muranyi.
They were together nearly 70 years. In 2006 Steve and Beverly relocated to
Monroe, WI
to be closer to their two sons.
Beverly was very athletic. She enjoyed bowling and golf. Playing golf mostly
with the women's leagues at Sheridan and Brighton Park in the town of
Tonawanda. Although she often said she wasn't competitive, and never knew her
score until it was added-up at the end of her round, her scores were good
enough to be crowned Club Champion several times!
She was also very involved in the clubs' organizations, serving as President
several times.
She bowled on Friday nights at Sheridan Lanes where she carried an average
above 160. Often times she would bring home a case of diet-rite cola awarded by
the lanes for totaling a 200 game!
Beverly also loved to cook. Canning apple sauce, rhubarb, and tomatoes were
annual rituals, along with weekly pies. The family favorite was her McIntosh
apple pie.
Her favorite meal to prepare which was a meal taught to her by her
mother-in-law, was pigs in the blanket. It was a German dish her husband Steve
and her two sons really enjoyed. She also made great chocolate fudge and
Christmas cookies.
Family was most important to her and Sundays were always family time when we
gathered together to enjoy her wonderful meals.
She will be dearly missed by her husband Steve of Monroe; their
two sons, Michael (Shelley) of Monroe, Robert (Kathy) of Madison;
granddaughter, Kristen Muranyi; and grandson, Patrick Muranyi, both of Madison.
She is also survived by one brother Eugene (Patricia) Hicks; sister-in law,
Mary Lou Hicks; and many nieces and nephews in Buffalo, NY.
She was preceded in death by brothers, Howard (Randy) Hicks, Jimmy Hicks, Jerry
Hicks, and a sister Janice (Don) Howard.
A private family service was held on Saturday March 23rd at
the Newcomer Funeral Home in Monroe.
The Muranyi Family wishes to express our immense gratitude to the Monroe Clinic
and Hospital staff who helped us journey through this last year of Beverly's
life.... everyone was professional and compassionate to the end. Memorials may
be made to the Monroe Clinic Hospice program, 515 22nd Avenue, Monroe.
