Lois Margaret Nolan Murray

Lois was born December 12, 1931 in Lakefield, Ontario and was the daughter of the late Francis and Amelia Nolan. She was married to the late Leslie T. Murray for 39 years. She is survived by her daughter, Tammy Lathan of Denton, NC; son, Tommy Murray and wife Beth of Raleigh, NC; five grandchildren, Luke, Jake and Lindsay Lathan and Tommy and Nolan Murray. She is a dear sister of Theresa (Nolan) Dunlop and Adelle (Nolan) Johnson. She was the sister of the late Phyllis (Nolan) Rochetta, Francis (Nolan) Warren, Cyril Nolan, Thomas Nolan, Mary (Nolan) Ballentine, Joseph Nolan, Rita (Nolan) Ballentine, Freida (Nolan) Paquette, and Marita Nolan.

Lois will be remembered for her tremendous heart, deep love for her family, and her strong faith in our savior, Jesus Christ. If a family member or friend needed help, she was there for them. If someone needed to talk, she always had an ear for them. She always had an open door for her family and friends because she always said “The more the merrier”. Lois enjoyed the simple things in life like the chirping of the birds or a long walk with a grandchild with a ray of sunshine on their face.

The family will receive friends from 12:00 noon until 1:45 pm Friday, February 25, 2011 at Thomasville Funeral Home. A Funeral Mass will be held at 2:00 pm Friday, February 25th at Our Lady of the Highway Catholic Church in Thomasville with Father James Turner celebrating. Interment will follow at Holly Hill Memorial Park.
