Musz graduated from St. Barnabas Nursing School as an RN. She volunteered as a nurse for many community health events. She was a lifetime member and an ultimate volunteer Union Congregational Church, well known for her pickle making.   Musz kept busy walking, playing tennis, sewing, and cross-stitching, as well as various community activities. Musz and Al loved motor homing to National Parks, watching their grandchildren’s sports often an hour drive one way.  The kids would find a new treat at home when they had been there. Elk River High School were also followed by them, I’m sure some of you remember them watching your children or grandchildren.

We will always remember her as a loving and caring mother, grandmother and friend who selflessly cared for her friends and relatives.
