Ms. Murry was born December 1, 1913, to the Late H. M. "Mart" Williams and Cora Addison Williams and was also preceded in death by six brothers and sisters.
She grew up in the Broad River Community of Franklin County, where father farmed and she attended Broad River Baptist Church.

Upon moving to Hull, Ms. Murry joined Hull Baptist Church where she remained an active member for the rest of her life.

Ms. Murry was later employed by the Lamar Lewis Shoe Company where she remained a faithful employee for 25 years. During that time she developed a large following of regular customers. She was known and admired by family and friends for her hospitality, including her exceptional gift for cooking, entertaining and good fellowship. Ms. Murry's exuberance and enthusiasm for life and joy for the Lord was contagious to all who encountered her.
