Obituary of Gloria Murray

Gloria C. Murray, 92, passed away in her sleep, November 14, 2012 at the Life Care Center of Post Falls, ID. She was born November 4, 1920 in Superior, Montana to Mazel and Paul Westfal. She married Virgil L. Murray in January of 1943 in St. Regis, Montana. Gloria attended business school in Spokane, WA, majoring in accounting. She was a resident of Osborn, ID for over 60 plus years. After Virgil passed away, Gloria lived a quiet and private life, raising one daughter and two sons. She worked for Zanetti's as a bookkeeper for many years. She had a most unusual sense of humor and enjoyed a good laugh. If you visited her you would find her working in her garden or cooking in the kitchen. No one left her home with an empty stomach. Gloria was an excellent cook and will be remembered for her special dishes she cooked for each one of her children and grandchildren. Her generosity was appreciated by all who met her. Her yard was picture perfect, which included many colorful combinations of flowers. One fall, her yard was featured in the local newspaper as one of the most outstanding flower gardens in the area. Gloria is survived by: sister Marylou Moe; brother Jack Westfal; daughter, Melaine Murray; son Paul Murray and wife Lynda; Grandchildren: Craig Murray; Kerri Smith; Trina Dimico; Heath Murray; and Tyler Geigle and five great grandchildren. Gloria was preceded in death by Virgil L. Murray (husband), Randall Murray (son) and six brothers. Gloria will be laid to rest at the Coeur d'Alene Memorial Gardens Cemetery, 7315 N. Government Way.
