Elaine Murray was a wonderful lady and a great mother for her two boys. She was always so helpful and caring in the best way that she could do for us kids growing up. She is an avid animal lover and loves cats and dogs. She has owned many cats in her lifetime. She often donated to shelters to help animals be cared for and to find homes for them. She was a very hardworking woman in her lifetime. She always worked 110% at any job she worked at or anything she did around the house. She enjoyed cleaning her house especially and her hobbies were building 1000 piece puzzles and reading many books in her lifetime. She was a great lady to be around and she left behind her son Jim, Kenny, and her adopted son Keith and her brother Bob as well. She did not have very many friends as she was a loner. She liked to be by herself and not deal with any drama in her life from other people. She will be missed by her surviving family and by the people who knew her and cared about her. May she rest in peace and be with the Lord until we all meet again.
