    Elizabeth Murawski, turned 100 last May
    On May 19, Elizabeth Murawski surprised her friends at the Suburban Pavilion nursing home in North Randall -- she celebrated her 100th birthday. No one guessed she was that old, said family members. She had kept her 99th birthday quiet. Within the last few weeks, Mrs. Murawski won two bowling trophies competing against other senior citizens. She was also a checkers champ, said family members. And she enjoyed bingo.
    Last week, she asked to be taken to the hospital. She was in pain because of a heart problem.
    "When we came to the hospitalon Thursday, she said, 'I'm ready to die now,'" said June Murawski of Bay Village, her daughter-in-law. "She was just remarkable. She was lying there planning her funeral. She was upset because she did not get her permanent. I told her I would pray for God to come and take her."

    On May 19, Elizabeth Murawski surprised her friends at the Suburban Pavilion nursing home in North Randall - she celebrated her 100th birthday. No one guessed she was that old, said family members. She had kept her 99th birthday quiet.
    Within the last few weeks, Mrs. Murawski won two bowling trophies competing against other senior citizens. She was also a checkers champ, said family members. And she enjoyed bingo.
    Last week, she asked to be taken to the hospital. She was in pain because of a heart problem.
    "When we came to the hospital on Thursday, she said, 'I'm ready to die now,' said June Murawski of Bay Village, her daughter-in-law.
    "She was just remarkable. She was lying there planning her funeral. She was upset because she did not get her permanent.
    "I told her I would pray for God to come and take her," June Murawski said. "We prayed and she went blind the last 10 minutes. She asked us what time it was. I told her it was five o'clock. She said, 'It's time to go.' And she died.
    "It was a wonderful but sad experience," she said. "Grandma was just remarkable."
    According to June Murawski, her mother-in-law's handling of death was typical of how Elizabeth Murawski handled life. "She was a very strong and loving mother. On her 91st birthday, she ran three quarters of a mile.
    "She wore lipstick and powder every day. Up until two days before she died, she curled her own hair.
    "She was reading until about two weeks ago. She knew about the news," June Murawski said.
    "She was a champion walker at the rest home. She was like a grandmother to everybody, visiting the sick, inspiring everybody. She went to all the church services," her daughter-in-law said.
    Born in Poland, Elizabeth Murawski came to Cleveland in 1917 and lived in several city neighborhoods until moving to Suburban Pavilion four years ago.
    She did not become a U.S. citizen until 1942, when her son, Edward, was in the military.
    Since 1942, she never missed voting, June Murawski said.
    Mrs. Murawski was a former member of St. Jerome Catholic Church in Collinwood.
    She was the youngest of 13 brothers and sisters.
    Her two daughters, Marie Cybulski and Carolyn Fields, and husband, Frank, died earlier.
    Survivors include her son; four grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren.
    A reception will be at 10 a.m. Monday at the Holy Spirit Church in Avon Lake, followed by services at 11 a.m.
