Henrietta Hourigan (Gruner) Wharton, of New Jersey and Sun City Center, Fla., passed away peacefully in Florida on Sept. 30, 2021. She was 101.
Born in 1919 in Dover, N.J., she attended school in Dover and Philadelphia. She married Clarence Hourigan in 1941 and lived for (72) years in Wharton, N.J., before moving to Florida in 2013 to join her children.
She was predeceased by her parents, Max and Martha Gruner; her husband, Clarence Hourigan; and her twin brother, Henry Gruner.
She is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth Neuwirth (Frank); her son, David Hourigan (Joan); her four grandchildren of New Jeresy, Pennsylvania and Texas; five great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren; also her nephew and nieces in Connecticut; plus extended family in Ireland.
Henrietta worked as an assistant office manager in Suffern Tri County Distributors in Wharton for 17 years. She was also an auxiliary member of the America Legion Post 91, Wharton, for 74 years.
Henrietta loved spending time with family and also travelling with both her daughter’s and son’s families. She attended and enjoyed the many functions at The Legal Secretaries with her daughter Elizabeth. Henrietta enjoyed doing crossword puzzles and playing bingo right up to her 100th birthday. She was an amazing woman. Everyone called Henrietta a lady. She was a very gentle person and never made a fuss; we will miss her dearly.
We would like to thank the wonderful management and staff at Cypress Creek Assisted Living for taking such great care of mom at her forever home over the last few years, plus a thank you to Life Path Hospice and Sun Terrace rehab.
At the request of Henrietta, services will be private. No flowers please but donations can be made in Henrietta’s name to the American Legion, Post 91, 99 North Main Street, Wharton, NJ 07885.
