Clara Murray Obituary
York
On June 20, 2016, the Lord's angels came and ushered Clara Elizabeth Murray, 68, to Heaven at the York Hospital, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on January 7, 1948, in York, she was the daughter of the late Margaret (Nolden) and the late Harold E. Jefferson.
She was a member of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, York. Clara loved to bake, cook and play Bingo.
She was a loving mother and grandmother who enjoyed giving to others. Clara was still giving -- she was a Gift of Life Donor.
She leaves to cherish her memory, children, Terry Murray (Connie Rainey),(Robin Stoner), Arthur "Artie' Murray, (Rosie), Albert Murray (Leesa); 21 grandchildren; 32 great-grandchildren; siblings, Phyllis Murray, Ethel Pinkney,(Prince,Jr.), Mary Grant, Tracy DeShields, Harry Murray, Jr. (Carol), James Murray, Rufus Murray, all of York; Lifetime Best Friend, Beverly Gilbert, of Gettysburg, and a host of uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded by a brother, Larry DeShields; brother-in-law, Gunnie Grant; and step father, Harry Murray.
The Celebration of Life Services will be on Friday, June 24, 2016 at 12 noon at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, 367 Simpson St., York, with the Rev. Adrian Boxley, Sr. officiating. A viewing will be from 10 a.m. - 12 noon.

Terry, Artie and Albert,
My heart is saddened to hear about the loss of you mother, she was a great woman and I will miss her deeply.
Ms. Clara was one of my mom's closet friends and now her and Margaret are having their talks as they did in the projects, except now they are sitting on heavens steps.
May God continue to comfort and strengthen you now and always.
With heartfelt sympathy,
