                     REMEMBERING MARTHA M. MURANSKY

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 7, 2013

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the life of an 
outstanding and charitable woman, Ms. Martha M. Muransky. Martha was 
born on May 28, 1923, to Joseph and Martha Kukara and spent her 89 
years as a resident of the Youngstown, Ohio area. She witnessed almost 
a century of change and was always filled with humor, wit and kindness. 
She enjoyed cooking, baking, sports, and, most of all, spending time 
with her family.
   Martha graduated from Campbell High School in 1940 and was an active 
member of the SS. Cyril & Methodius Church. Martha possessed a keen 
intelligence, a love for reading, and understood the value of 
commitment. She worked as a precinct committee woman during elections, 
belonged to the First Catholic Slovak Union and without a doubt was her 
son Ed's number one fan as he pursued an outstanding football career. A 
hard worker, Martha was employed by G.E. Mazda Lamp Company, operated 
her family's produce store until 1957, and worked for both Union Bank 
and the Home Savings and Loan Company.
   I extend my most sincere condolences to Martha's family. Her long 
and productive life set an example to all of us and all who knew her. 
Her life and the values she embodied greatly influenced her relatives, 
including her two brothers, Larry and Ray Kukara, daughter Elaine 
Mulichak, son Ed Muransky, grandchildren Brian Mulichak, Melissa 
Kellgren, Eddie Muransky, Deloran Muransky and Donielle Muransky, and 
great grandchildren, Luke, Paige and Karter. Martha was preceded in 
death by her sister, Ethel DeNicholas, and two brothers, Frank and 
Joseph Kukara. Martha was a very special woman and will be long 
remembered.
