Obituary

Elizabeth "Liz" Dorothy Murnane, of Glenham, formerly of Chester, NY and New Jersey, passed away on Friday, January 30, 2026 following a sudden and unexpected illness. She was 63.

The daughter of the late Horace and Virginia (Greene) Schuppe, Elizabeth was born in Hackensack, NJ on April 12, 1962.

Liz loved to vacation with her family. From Seaside Heights, to Jamaica, to Disney World, to cruises in the Caribbean, if it involved the sun, and the beach, she was happy to be there. She also enjoyed watching movies, spending time with her dogs and driving in the snow. More than anything else, she loved her family; her husband, her children, their friends, and spouses, and most of all, her granddaughters, who affectionately called her "Oma".

On December 17, 1983, she married William J. Murnane at St. John the Evangelist Church in Beacon, NY. Bill survives at home in Glenham.

Additional survivors include her five children: her son, Billy Murnane & his wife Annie of Beacon, NY; her son, Brian Murnane & his wife Ashley of Los Angeles, CA; her daughter, Lauren Thompson & her husband Christopher of LaGrange, NY; her son, Stephen Murnane of Beacon, NY; her daughter, Kathleen Dearman & her husband Ryan of Hopewell Junction, NY; her granddaughters: Everly & Sofia Thompson and Parker & Quinn Dearman; her siblings: Denise Shepherd & her husband Mark; Stephen Schuppe & his wife Jeannie; and Susan Babcock; as well as many nieces, nephews, and countless other loving family members, and community who couldn't help but be charmed, and touched by knowing her.

In addition to her parents, Elizabeth was also predeceased by her sister, Janet Schuppe.
