Margaret Moruska

THOMASTON- Mrs. Margaret Eleanor Moruska, 82, of Thomaston went home to the Lord on Sunday Jan. 2,2011 at the Waterbury Hospital.

Mrs. Moruska was born in Kankakee, Ill., on January 31, 1928, a daughter of the late John and Florence (Wilkinson) Henricks and was a graduate of Kankakee High School. Her family moved to Beacon Falls and then finally to Naugatuck.

She was a member of the United Methodist Church of Naugatuck and the Christian Life Center in Wolcott.

Her greatest joy was taking care of anything that either had fur or feathers, whether they were inside or out. She will be remembered for her wonderful and talented baking skills. She would make everyone their special and unique birthday cakes every year. Also a talent she had was writing funny and touching poems for family and friends. One of her last poems was for a qujilt club in Forest, Virginia who were making quilts for Breast Cancer Month this past year. But "Muggie" will always remain in everyone's heart as the most caring and loving person on this earth. Her ear was always there for anyone to talk to and ask for advice and guidance from.
