Leave a tribute for Betty Sue Murray.
Sam, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. Just know my Thoughts and Prayers are with you. I never had the pleasure of meeting her but knowing her son tells me she was a beautiful, wonderful lady... Praying for you and your family...
So sorry for your loss. I grew up on Asheville Street near Betty Sue, a childhood friend. We lost contact when I moved away.
Sam, I’m so sorry about your Mom and Luke and Noah about your Grandmother. Betty was a very special lady who loved you all very much. I’ll be thinking about you Friday but I will not be able to attend the visitation or the service at Burke Memorial Park. Prayers for you all and much love. Aunt Barb
She was such a bright light in my life and I always loved getting to see her when growing up! I will always have fond memories of her and uncle Charlie! My heart goes out to Sam and the boys! I know she is going to be with all of you looking over your shoulder as the loving angel she was here on earth as well as heaven!
I didn't get to meet Betty. She gave my dad a home for the last 10 years of his life, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Rest in peace, Betty, and may your memory always be a blessing.
So sorry for your loss. May your heart be healed knowing that she no longer suffers. Her 1958 senior Morganton High School annual picture caption - Short n' sweet...stenographer-to-be...very quick.
Dear Sam, Luke, and Noah, My sympathy on the passing of your mother and grandmother. It’s especially hard during Mother’s Day week. I wish you all comfort and strength as you move forward without her. Fondly, Nancy Ferguson Brown 💕
