Frances (Fran) Murray

She is reunited with her beloved husband Donald and cherished daughter Karen. Loving mother of John and proud grandmother of Brandon. She is survived by her brother Jack Simmons (Mary), and her brothers-in-law Bob Murray (Bev), Bill Murray (Donna) and Bob Bellamy. She is predeceased by her siblings Sharon Bellamy and Jim Simmons. Frances will be missed by her nieces, nephews and many close friends.

During her long career as a nurse, Frances dedicated her life to helping others in their time of need. She spent her last years before retirement at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital. Long-time parishioner and choir member of St. Alban the Martyr and St. Stephen-On-The-Mount. She was very proud to have been awarded the Anglican Diocese of Niagara, Order of Niagara Medal, in 2015, which was awarded by the Bishop of the Diocese. Frances was very selfless and caring and put everyone’s needs before her own. She spent a great deal of time nursing her own loved ones who were fighting illness including her husband, daughter and sister. Special thank you to Reverend Naomi Kabugi for all of the love and support given to Fran over these past years. The family would also like to thank the nurses at Juravinski Hospital for their amazing care and compassionate support of one of their own.
