Obituary of Edith Murray

1923 - 2012

It is with deep sorrow that the family of Edith Murray announces her passing on Sunday, November 25, 2012 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 89 years of age.

Edie was born to Jack and Flora Rayson on November 12, 1923 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Those who had not seen Edie for awhile would have missed her for sure, but those of us who have been closer also saw her health failing, and we all suffered with her. At the same time she brought her unique character and special life to Joseph Creek Care Village, her home for the past few years, and it was a better place with her presence, right up until her very recent illness. Enough cannot be said for the care she received during her residence there. We will miss their dear caring for Edie and all of the residents.

Edie you are already missed.

Edie is survived by her sister Muriel (Bill) Anderson, daughter Dianne (Andy) Glass, son Ed (Andi Scheibenstock), son Al (Marsha), grandchildren Laurie (Dave) Sauve, Dave (Christine) Newns, Stephanie, Robert and Donnie (Emelie) Murray, Sean (Teesa) Glass, Jason (Julie) Glass, ten great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews all of whom have their special memories of Nana and Auntie Edie. She was predeceased by her husband Don (2006) and her brothers John and Norman.

A Celebration Of Edie's Life will be held on Friday, November 30, 2012 at 2:30 pm at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook. Be prepared to laugh, it's what Edie would want.
