Joseph McMurrer Obituary
Joe was born March 27, 1930 in Washington, DC. He married Peggy, his high school sweetheart, at the age of 19. Joe began his career with the Washington Metropolitan Police on August 6, 1952, reaching the rank of Sergeant before retiring on July 1, 1974. He also served 20 years in the Army Reserve, retiring as a Sergeant Major. In addition to that, he was a bus driver for Loudoun County Schools for about 30 years, retiring in his eighties.
Joe was an avid outdoorsman, gardener and tinkerer. He had a unique way with words, and had a word of wisdom or piece of common-sense philosophy to spice up a conversation.
Funeral Services were held at Saint John Catholic Church on Wednesday December 7, 2022. Joseph was interred at Chestnut Grove in Herndon VA.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the American Cancer Society, the Alzheimer's Association or to your local Hospice organization. Joseph McMurrer

I was so sorry to read about the passing of Mr. Joe. They were the first neighbors we met when we moved to Leesburg. Best neighbors ever.
