Micki enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, including crocheting, working on puzzles, reading, fresh bagels from the Trumbull Shopping Center and, of course, ice cream. One of her favorite indulgences was the biggest sundae from the Milford Sundae House. In her later years when she could no longer finish her dinner, she always had room for her chocolate ice cream cone. She was an enthusiastic walker who loved walking in downtown Milford during her lunchbreaks, and at the mall. She loved taking train trips to New York City to see Broadway shows, taking special pleasure introducing this passion to her extended family creating wonderful memories for all involved. She happily returned to see her favorites often, especially Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables. Music was another great love of Micki's, particularly the songs of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. In the days of reel-to-reel tape decks, she became an expert tape splicer! Above all, Micki cherished the time she spent with her family, who brought her great joy and were at the heart of her life. She will be remembered for the many special memories she created and the love she shared with those closest to her.

Micki is survived by her children, George (Kerri) Beningo, David (Kathryn) Beningo, Tracy Beningo, and James (Carrie) Beningo; grandchildren, Kristina (Mike) and Matthew (Caitlyn) Beningo, Angela (Daniel) Udy, and Jennifer (Frank) Monahan; her great grandchildren, Marilyn, Warren, Evelyn, David, Cassidy, Bailey, and Lacey; and several nieces, nephews, and extended family members. In addition to her beloved husband, Micki was predeceased by her three brothers, her son, Michael, and grandson, David Beningo.
