Norma Tollison Murray

She lived in the community of Kirkwood her younger years where her family were members of

Kirkwood/Rainbow Park Baptist. This created a foundation of church memberships,

developing lifelong friendships, to include Sandy Springs First Baptist, Lilburn First

Baptist and North Metro Baptist Church. She married her sweetheart, Marion P Murray,

Jr., June 7, 1952 and they had a wonderful life together celebrating their love for 66

years with traveling, serving the community and serving in church, with their greatest

accomplishment being their two daughters, Cindy and Meredith. Most of their married

life they lived in Dunwoody until she opened her real estate office which relocated the

family to Lilburn.

Norma was a Real Estate Broker for many years with Clover and

ReMax Greater Atlanta. After retiring from a very successful real estate career she did

not choose the traditional retirement but took her many talents and became the HR

Director at Silgan Plastics, which she loved. During these years she enjoyed taking

computer classes and learning the latest technology, always having a thirst for

knowledge during her 10 years with Silgan. She and Marion were proud members of

the Gwinnett Chapter of Gideons International. Norma also was the charter member of

the Gourmet Girls of Sandy Springs for over 50 years. She and Marion enjoyed

refurbishing and designing music boxes for community charity craft shows.

Such a Godly woman that showed through every decision, encouraging, mentoring or consoling

word for a friend or family member with Bible based wisdom and love. She treasured

those aspects of her life, but her priority in life was being a devoted Daughter, Wife,

Mother, Mema, Grandma, Aunt, Niece and Cousin.
