Frances Murray passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family at Chapman House Hospice in Owen Sound on Tuesday, March 4, 2025 at the age of 81.
Born in Owen Sound on October 6, 1943, she was a daughter of the late George and Audrey (nee McCallum) Morrison.
Frances was predeceased by her beloved husband Wayne Bruce Murray on June 17, 1992, her daughter Mary Lisa on February 20, 2004, and her brother Ted on June 7, 2014.
She is survived by her step-daughter Marcia (Keith Coleridge).
Frances will be missed by her brother Dennis Morrison (Lynn), sister Sandra Tymcik (Steve), and sister Doris Robinson (Ken).
She will be remembered fondly by her grandchildren, nieces, nephews and their families.
Frances enjoyed reading and music. She sang in the church choir and was very active member at St. George’s Anglican Church in Clarksburg. She was an active member of the Rebekah’s Lodge in Thornbury for many years. Both Frances and Wayne were proud volunteers with St. John’s Ambulance. Frances worked in the nursing field and at Amerock, but found her passion for sewing working at the Handy Shop in Clarksurg. She owned her own business “A Stitch in Time” until she semi-retired. Frances loved to sew, knit and make quilts. Anything that Frances did, she did well. She was a very talented woman and loved to help others. She will certainly be missed but will never be forgotten.
A funeral service celebrating Frances’s life will be conducted at St. George’s Anglican Church in Clarksburg on Thursday, March 20, 2025 at 11 o’clock with a reception following. A private service of committal and interment will take place at Thornbury-Clarksburg Union Cemetery.
