Consuel Murray

(December 22, 1934 - July 27, 2024)

Mrs. Consuel Murray died peacefully on Saturday, July 27, 2024.

She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.

Consuel was born in Greenwich Town in Kingston, Jamaica West Indies on

December 22, 1934. She was the youngest of four children to immigrant

parents of East Indian heritage.

She left Jamaica in her early twenties to travel to London, England to

pursue a career in Nursing. Her resilience, ambition and strength are

obvious as it must have been daunting for her to leave home from so far

away to travel to London. It was there on the ship to London that she met

an older lady who later introduced her nephew to Consuel. This man later

became Consuel’s future husband, Alton Murray. She always talked about

the first time she saw her beloved, descending gracefully down the stairs

to greet her. It was love at first sight.

They married in England where they enjoyed each other’s company

traveling throughout Europe and eventually living in Central America where

her husband worked with The World Health Organization. They then

returned to Jamaica where they raised their four daughters.

Her strength and determination was again seen when she surprised her

doctors by living much longer on Hospice Care while suffering from

cardiac heart failure and breast cancer. She enjoyed gardening. As a real

gardener, she did most of her own landscaping by herself. She influenced

all around her with her love for the outdoors and nature. Consuel was

fearless, never shy to speak her mind and saying honestly what she

thought of a situation.

Her faith as a devoted Jehovah’s Witness was inspirational. Faith gave her

the strength she needed to accept what was happening to her in the last

days of her life. She held on to the teachings of the Resurrection, where

she will reunite with her late husband Alton and second daughter Anthea.

Consuel Murray was a strong and beautiful woman. She is survived by

three of her daughters Connie, Shari and Ann and her granddaughters

Kelsey and Kaitlin.

Consuel will be remembered forever in our hearts.
