Murray

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Elizabeth J. Murray, affectionately known as Betty, who departed this life on November 9, 2026, at the age of 89. Born on December 21, 1936, in Cincinnati, OH, Betty devoted her life to caring for others as a dedicated nurse. Her compassion and unwavering spirit touched countless lives, earning her the respect and love of those she served and worked alongside.

Betty was the beloved wife of the late Oscar H. Murray and a cherished mother to her children: Angela (late Dan) Asher, John (Francine) Murray, the late Mitzi (Ricky) Mitchell, and Nancy Bay. As a grandmother, she took immense joy in the lives of her grandchildren: Greg (Tori) Asher, Michelle (Brett) Knapp, Jason Murray, Samantha Wicktora, Tony (Samantha) Murray, Cherie (Chris) Gee, Kristin (Anna) Bay, and Tyler (Courtney) Bay. Moreover, she was blessed with 13 great-grandchildren, whose laughter and achievements brought her great delight. Dear sister of Sally (James) Rolf, the late Rosemary (John) Feuser, the late Edward (Marilyn) Appiarius and the late Jack Appiarius.

A true lover of life, Betty found joy in playing bingo and slots at the casinos, and she had a profound affection for animals. She was also an avid reader, constantly seeking out new stories and adventures through the written word.
