It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Evelyn Murray on April 20, 2017 at her home after a lengthy illness.


Evelyn will be greatly missed by her many friends and relatives, both in British Columbia and the Maritimes. She moved to Williams Lake with her husband Kenneth Murray in September 1966. She worked for many years, first at Eatons, then Sears, in Williams Lake.


She is predeceased by her husband Kenneth Murray; three brothers, Malcolm, David and Robert Atkinson; one sister Phyllis Mason.


Left to mourn are her five sisters, Maxine Murray (Jimmie), Sally Dow (Walter), Mary Betts (Howard), Florine Hunter (Kenneth), Margaret Casey (Jack); and many nieces and nephews.


A Celebration of Life, with tea, will be held in her honour on April 29, 2017 at 2:00pm at Compassionate Care Funeral Home.


Those wishing to honour her memory by way of donation may do so to the BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.
