CLARENCE VINCENT MUZNY October 15, 1921- June 10, 2009
Clarence Vincent Muzny will be memorialized June 26, 2009, at 2 p.m. in the First Baptist Church Chapel, 12th and Robinson, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Clarence was born October 15, 1921 and left this world June 10, 2009.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Vincent {Jim} Muzny, Edith Drabek Muzny and his sister, Alleyne Muzny Curtis.
He grew up in Capitol Hill. In 1941, he started to work with Oklahoma Gas and Electric in the coal yard at the Horseshoe Lake Station in Harrah, Oklahoma and advanced to an Electrical Specialist over his 43 years of service, retiring in 1984.
He was an Army Veteran of World War II. He started in Camp Crowder, Missouri as a radio instructor and was assigned to the China, Burma, India campaign for the remainder of his service. He was extremely proud of his service in the Army. After returning from overseas duty, he served as Commander of American Legion Post 352, as Chef de Gare of the 40&8 of Oklahoma and was very active in the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1857.
During this time, he also owned and operated a radio repair and records sales shop in Oklahoma City.
Clarence was also very proud of his Czechoslovakian heritage. He was continuously active in the Oklahomsky Rolnik #89 Lodge of the Western Fraternal Life Association. He served many terms as president, secretary, sergeant-at-arms and spent countless hours making repairs and refurbishing the lodge hall. He also provided the music and sound system for many Czech Day celebrations and enjoyed many a Saturday night at the Czech Hall in Yukon, Oklahoma, dancing the polka, waltz and schottische.
He served as president of the Czech National Cemetery where he will be laid to rest.
He was an extremely intelligent man who would help anyone in need. For many years he donated his time ringing bells for the Salvation Army and repaired furniture, toys, and radios for the Christmas drives. His final donation is that of his body to the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center for research.
He is survived by Betty Grace Ferguson Muzny, his wife of 54 years; three daughters, Betty Martheda Muzny of Oklahoma City; Barbara Muzny Sheldon of McLouth, Kansas; Karen Muzny Stone and son-in-law Mark A.
