Mary E. Murchison
HIGH POINT – Mary A. Murchison, a mother to three generations and a true friend to many, slipped away to join her family in Heaven on May 19, 2010. Mary entered this world on July 3, 1931, as Mary Elizabeth Anderson, the only daughter of Raymond and Connie Anderson of Ellerbe, NC. Mary finished high school, met and married Joseph L. Murchison Jr. and traveled the world as an army officer’s wife.
She leaves to celebrate her life and passes on her traditions to four children from that union: Marilyn Forrest (Charles), Michelle Little, Mercedes Murchison-Hunt, and Michael Joseph Murchison.
Being a passionate believer in education and giving back, at age 54, Mary went back to school and received a bachelor’s degree in education from Shaw University and taught in the High Point City School System. Her love of life and of people coupled with her ability to absorb the best around her made her a welcoming beacon for everyone she met. She wanted and needed to give an overflow portion of her love to other children through the foster care system. From that endeavor, she also leaves children raised by her and connected to her heart: Glenn (Popcorn) Williams, Tony Garland, Matthew Curry, Robert Lightner and Shonte Lightner Hayes (Tommy). She loved to cook, sew, draw, and dance if you ask those that knew her well...she was second only to Jesus in feeding the multitudes. Mary cared for others and put God first in her life through service to others.
She was preceded in death by her special friend, Jessie Vick.
She was Grandma to: Monica Murchison, Courtney Forrest Vick (Lindell), Charles Forrest Jr. (Tracey), Cory Dawkins, Michael Rorie and Michael Murchison Jr. She was great-grandmother to: Chase, Isaiah, Janiah, Kaitlyn, Elijah, Aaron, Cailan, Roan, Kaylen, Aniya, Narianna, Caleb, Christopher, Alston, Cory Jr. and Cameron.
As a teacher, caterer, seamstress both in and outside of the home she supported her children, family and friends. Those friends include her “adopted sister” of over 70 years, Ola Mae Stringer and “block buddies” Venus Pinnix and Barbara Dickens. Through her activities with the school system, her church, her many employers and activity with the furniture market, Mary was a friend to many.
The Homegoing service was held Monday, May 24, 2010, at 2 p.m. at Williams Memorial C.M.E. Church, 3400 Triangle Lake Road, High Point, NC. The family celebrated with those who wished to acknowledge her joyful spirit and remember her at Phillips Funeral Service, 1810 Brockett Avenue, High Point, NC, Sunday, May 23, 2010, from 6 to 8 p.m.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers a donation be made to Hospice Care of the Piedmont.
