Marjory Carol Murray

Marge was born in Bremerton on March 2, 1943, to Adolph and Helene Wingren. She lived much of her childhood on Steel Lake where she learned to swim and was the only one in the family to ride a bicycle. When the family moved to Milton, Marge attended Fife High School where she graduated in 1961. She married Tom Murray that same year and lived in Fife and then Puyallup. She passed away on June 22, 2025.

Marge faced many challenges in her life with grace and spunk, including her PLS diagnosis in the early 1990’s. She was very competitive and was surprisingly difficult to argue with, despite her inability to speak. If you were lucky enough to be a recipient of a Cards by Marge masterpiece, you knew you were special to her. Her sense of humor and wit were uniquely displayed in each card she made. She loved playing cards, doing word puzzles or anything that would keep her mind sharp or that she could win. All animals brought her joy, especially dogs, which she had most of her adult life.

Marge and Tom liked camping in their RV, bird watching and gardening. They were both very involved in their church, first at St. Martin of Tours and then at All Saints. Marge made cards and event tickets for the Altar Society at both parishes.

She is preceded in death by her husband Tom, of nearly 63 years and her parents. She is survived by her son, Steve Murray and daughter, Valerie (Steve) Webber; sisters Sandy Ellingson, Pat Lund, Mary Miller; brother Mike Wingren; and lots of extended family.

Marge’s life will be celebrated on July 17, 2025, at 11:00am at All Saints Catholic Church in Puyallup. Reception to follow at the parish hall.
