Mr. McMurry, 81, of Carthage passed away on Thursday, May 29, 2025.

Tommy was born and raised in the White Oak Community to Leon and Ruby McMurry and attended Edinburg and Carthage schools. He was employed with U.S. Motors for 40 plus years until they closed and after retiring from the U.S. Motors he was a poultry farmer for 20 plus years. He loved to hunt, fish and his tic tac’s, but he especially loved gardening and his fruit trees. Tommy was a quiet, humble man, but when he did speak it was always words of wisdom. He dearly loved his family, especially his grandchildren. Mr. McMurry was a long- time member of Pine Grove Church of God in Edinburg. He was loved by all and he will surely be missed.
