She was a joy when we both lived in Fredericton - so way Art.  We lost touch as my mailbox got moved thanks to a dog problem . . .   but we never forgot her or Art . . .  i just managed to find this . . .  am sorry she is gone and that she had a struggle.  I volunteer for studies on my brain for Parkinsons since i lost my sense of smell - before COVID.  Thank you for putting the obit where i could find it . . .   We will see her again, i know . . .  and Art too (i was just reading old emails and found one from Cleadie Barnett, a long time ago, and we were both wondering if Art and Ann had moved to warmer climes! [like Mexico!] ) . . .   best to those left to mourn . . .    - betsy collins shafer in Cupertino, CA, US

It is with great sadness that Jane and I just learned of the passing of Ann.  Our condolences go to the family.
Best wishes Lewis and Jane,

I remember Ann from way back when I was newly married. She was my visiting teaching and she was also so kind and helpful. I enjoyed  her friendship through the years. It's sad to hear of her passing, but she must be so happy to be with Art again. May each of you find peace at this time and know that Ann was always so proud of you all. My heartfelt prayers go out to you all.

David, Ted, Susan and John -- After knowing your Mom and Dad since they lived in Fredericton way back in the early 70's, I can say I have lost one of my dearest and best friends.  When your Dad broke his hip back then, your Mom packed up and moved back to Edmonton to get better medical attention for your Dad, a smart but very difficult choice she was forced she make.  We kept in contact continually for years until about 2 years ago when she was unable to call or write any more.  I really enjoyed seeing them again a few years ago when they came to Fredericton with Ted and John to visit with your Dads family.  I also have journals she made for me and many little trinkets she sent me which I will treasure until I am gone.  Please always remember that Love is the only thing we can carry with us when we go, and that makes the end a little easier.  I know for a fact she loved all of you unconditionally.  

I met Mrs Murray, through her son, Ted.  She was with him on one of his service calls to where I worked.  While Ted was working, we sat down to a game of Super Scrabble and chatted all afternoon.  The next time I spent time with her, was at their home in Edmonton, over New Year’s Eve (which happens to be my birthday).  Ann had rearranged their family’s New Year’s Day dinner plans to include my birthday.  They ordered in Chinese food and we again played Scrabble.  I will always remember the hospitality she showed me.  So grateful for the few times I did get to spend time with her.  I’m proud to be able to tell people I’ve met Ann Murray.  My sincere sympathy, and prayers of comfort, go out to the Murray family during this time of deep loss and sorrow.

My sincere condolences to Ann’s family.  Ann was such a positive and beautiful person.  We really enjoyed working with Ann.  Her and Arthur were so much fun at our staff parties. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

To the Murray Family,
My deepest condolences to your family during this time of  sorrow.  I have fond memories of both Ann and Art from Heritage Mall and when we went to see a wonderful concert  of the Irish Descendants together.   Such a wonderful lady, the world is less bright without her.

How well we remember Art and Ann.  Art was famous for his "belly button pincher" which he wielded in our sons' Sunday school class.  He was stoic in the face of many physical difficulties.
Ann was a very smart, creative woman.  She loved books and discussing events.  I always loved seeing her at the Hallmark Store in the mall.  She also was heroic in facing her many challenges.
We are happy that they are now both free of earthly constraints and enjoying each other's company.

To the Murray Family : 
   I have very fond memories of your mom /grandmother .    Ann  always had a way with her that made you feel comfortable and welcomed .  We stood in line to see the other Anne Murray ,waiting for her to sign  your moms book .  Ann and Art were big fans and I remember her saying I’m Ann Murray without the ‘E’.   We also shared the love of east coast music and your mom and dad took Brenda Hall and I to see the Irish Descendants. We sure had fun  that night .    May love and support  surround you at this  very difficult   time . Thinking of all of you .

I knew Ann and Art for many years and spent lots of time with them. We met often with Kim and Ocean Kara and Ann always
had a story she had written to share.  As well we played games and shared lots of laughs together.   My husband Jack (died 2015) and I
both loved Ann very much and have missed working and socializing with her.
Much love to each of her children and grandchildren.  You will
have such great memories of your mother and grandmother.
