She enjoyed baking, gardening, playing her piano and organ, tending her flock of chickens for a time, traveling with her son to annual fireworks conventions, and especially spending time with her extended family.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Paul J. Huntzinger in 1974. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Thomas H. Bressler, his wife, Sara, and her older sister, Betty J. Otto.

She is survived by two daughters and a son: Sheila R. Huntzinger of Murrells Inlet, SC, Paula J. Huntzinger of York, and Greg A. Huntzinger of Mechanicsburg; a grandson, Daniel Joseph Cipollini and great granddaughter Lydia Cipollini, both of York; sister Joyce Runkle of Halifax, and several nieces and nephews.

Miriam had a strong faith and regularly attended New Life Baptist Church in New Cumberland from the time it was established until her health declined.

Services and interment will be private at the convenience of the family. Due to the current pandemic all attending will be asked to wear a mask and practice social distancing.
