Ruth "Ann" Murchland

May she rest in peace with our Lord.

My sincere condolences and prayers to the family. Mrs. Murchland was my instructor for Pediatric Nursing at Howard University College of Nursing. My specialty is also Pediatric nursing ! Mrs. Murchland was one of my favorite instructors who inspired me and made it possible for me and several classmates to attend Catholic University's graduate school of nursing. I completed my master's degree and taught pediatric nursing,hopefully inspiring students. Thanks Ann job well done RIP

Such an incredible gem. Ann was so predictably positive and constant. Blessings to family and thankfulness for Ann´s servers heart. Just amazing.

Ann was my classmate at Forest Lake Academy. I remember her as a sweet and kind girl with a beautiful smile. After many years, we discovered that we lived near each other and planned to have a visit. I'm so sorry that she was taken before that visit happened. My love and sympathy to her family. I will send her obituary to others in our class.

On behalf of the Hardin family, our deepest condolences; strength and courage to all of you.

Ann was such a sweet and caring lady. I always enjoyed our chats with her and our shared love of those sweet cats. She was such a kind and gentle soul and we are so grateful for the time we were able to spend with her. We will miss her smile and cherish her memory always. May the Lord bring you His peace and carry you through the days ahead.

The thing I remember most about Mrs. Murchland was her warm and inviting smile. Every time I saw her she was so bubbly and full of laughter. One of the kindest ladies I've ever known. My favorite memories were of the few times me and my mom would accompany Ann and Nicole to go see the Nutcracker around the holidays. It had become a tradition for a few wonderful years. We would get dressed up and enjoy a night on the town. Mrs. Marchand's excitement about the night was always contagious and...

I had already known Ann as the lovely mother of my dear friend, Nickie. Imagine my surprise and happiness when I started my first job as a social worker where Ann worked! She was always kind, wise, funny, and caring! Her “Villa Family” will never forget Ann! I am so lucky to have known her for so many years. We’re sending lots of love to all of her beloved family. ❤
