Mary Murrow Obituary

Visit the Downing & Lahey Mortuaries & Crematory - West Wichita website to view the full obituary.
Mary Susan Murrow, 75, died peacefully on Thursday, February 19, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. Mary loved Jesus, her family, her friends, her neighbors, her church, all children, the homeless, the downtrodden, and the broken in spirit. The Lord blessed Mary with green pastures and quiet waters in her final chapter. She indulged in trips to the salon, pretty pink fingernails, and grew to love watching sports. She had many sunshine-filled and gentle days with great food and her loving community of friends and caregivers at Esplanade Gardens in San Antoino. Jesus saved the best for last. Praise the Lord.

Visitation with the family will be from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, Friday, March 20, 2026, at Downing & Lahey West Mortuary. Memorial service will be at 10:30 am, on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at Pathway Church, 2001 N. Maize Road, Wichita, KS 67212. Graveside service will be held following the memorial service at Resurrection Cemetery.

Preceded in death by her husband, Michael Murrow; her parents, Frank and Dorothy Fritton; her sisters, Nancy (Francis) Habiger and Linda Fritton; and her brother, James Fritton. Survived by her daughters, Mindy (Ryan) Rocha, Stacy (Nate) Bunck, Megan (Justin) McDonald; son, Derek (Brittany) Murrow; sister, Margaret (Edwin) Bideau; and thirteen grandchildren.
