Muriel Tomkins (nee Krusius) age 89 of Wayne died quietly and peacefully on Thursday, February 19, 2009 at the Llanfair House Nursing Home in Wayne.

She was born in Weehawkin, New Jersey and had lived in West New York, NJ before moving to Wayne forty-one years ago.

Muriel was employed as a secretary for the Manhattan Savings Bank and rose to be Vice President of the bank. She was the first women to hold such a high position in a New York Bank.

She was gifted with a brilliant mind with a very high IQ and was a member of the Mensa Society. Muriel was also an extravert who enjoyed life extending her wonderful sense of humor. As a result she was admired by many friends and a fun person to be with.

Murial and her late husband John were married for fifty-three years in a very “loving and great” marriage until John’s passing in August of 2002.

As a couple they enjoyed many things together especially hockey. They always had a season ticket to the Rangers Hockey Team games.

Muriel was also very much into being a nature lover. Her yard around her house was set up as a nature preserve with paths through the trees and plants with labels indicating the species of arbor. She also had bird and squirrel feeders to delight the animals.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in Muriel’s memory are asked to consider Wayne Memorial First Aid Squad, PO Box 291, Wayne, NJ 07470
