Mary Traxler Obituary

Mary Elizabeth "Beth" Traxler, born on February 25, 1952, in Fort Monroe, Virginia, passed away on November 30, 2024, in Germantown, Tennessee. She was the beloved daughter of Robert Edward and Carolyn Cunningham Murray. Beth was a devoted Catholic, wife, mother, and grandmother. Beth graduated from Bishop Byrne High School and Memphis State University. She furthered her education by attending nursing school at St. Joseph Hospital in Memphis. Beth dedicated many years of her life to caring for others as a registered nurse, retiring from Methodist Hospital Germantown. Beth was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Carolyn, her brothers Jimmy, Richard, and Tommy, and her sister Estelle. Beth is survived by her devoted husband of 50 years, Troy Traxler, her two children, Robert David Traxler and Christine Troi Traxler, and her cherished grandchildren, Jason Isham and Anthony Traxler. Beth is also survived by her brother Robert. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the American Cancer Society in Beth's memory. Beth's compassionate spirit and dedication to her family and profession will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
