Frances Alexandra Murray, age 88, of Oceanview Continuing Care Centre, Eastern Passage, and formerly of Halifax, passed away April 13, 2015.

Born September 21, 1926 in Martin’s Point, she was a daughter of the late Norman and Florence (Shupe) Hiltz.

She was a member of St. Timothy Anglican Parish, Hatchet Lake.

Surviving is her son, Michael Murray.

She was predeceased by her husband, Earl Murray; sisters, Muriel (Murray) Langille, Dorothy Rafuse, Thelma Leslie; brothers, Clarence Eugene Hiltz and Allen Hiltz.

Frances "Fran" or “Cookie”, as the staff at Oceanview would lovingly call her for her delightful personality and desire for cookies, loved people. Her interests were, dancing, cooking, baking, gardening and playing the organ. It truly can be said that as a couple, Frances and Earl were soul-mates, never very far away from each other and lost when the other wasn’t there. They are now, again, reunited.

A personal thank you from the family goes out to the staff at Oceanview for their service above and beyond.
