It is with sadness that we mourn the passing in Georgetown, TX of Muriel Wacow Kaplan (z”l), most beloved wife for 70 years of the late Harris Kaplan; cherished mother of CAA Family Members Bob and Pearl Kaplan of Cedar Park, TX, Barbara Cohn of New Rochelle, NY, Debbie and Rob Stern of Mequon, WI, and Temple Beth Shalom members Linda and Keith Gurian of Florence, TX. Muriel was 93 years old. Muriel (z”l) is remembered by grandchildren and CAA Family Members David and Hillery Kaplan, and Danielle Kaplan and Clint Bishop; also Melissa Kaplan; also Emily Cohn of New Rochelle, NY; Renee and Edward Doegar of London, England; Ben and Erin Stern of Glendale, WI; Sam Stern and Melissa Brown of Mequon, WI; Rebecca Stern of Shorewood, WI; Melanie and Lyle Fisher of Valley Glen, CA; Nina and Tommy Wagner of Georgetown, TX; Eli and Julie Gurian of Burbank, CA. She is also lovingly remembered by her 16 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Muriel (z”l) was born in Brooklyn, NY, and moved to Kansas City as a young child. When she was a teenager, her family settled in El Paso, Texas, where her father was the Kosher butcher for the Jewish community. She was introduced to the love of her life, Harris (z”l), by her best friend, Ann, who became her future sister-in-law. Pop and Bubba, as they were lovingly known by their family, raised four children while establishing Kaplan’s TV in El Paso. Harris and “Midge” loved spending time with their family, traveling, and fishing together in San Carlos, Mexico. Graveside service and burial will be held at Capital Park Cemetery, 14501 North IH-35, Pflugerville, TX at 4:30PM on Thursday, October 17th. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations may be made in Muriel’s (z”l) memory to Congregation Agudas Achim or Jewish National Fund.
