Picture
 Kathlene (Kathy) Murray, 49, of Elbridge, NY, passed away after a short, but valiant, battle with cancer. She passed away peacefully at home with her family near her. Kathy was the daughter of Victoria Lee Hoffman and the late Bill Gabriel. She was married to the love of her life, Bruce Murray, for 22 years and cherished the wonderful times they had together at the farm, tending to their chickens, renovating and updating their home, and camping on Wellesley Island in their RV. Kathy was known for her dynamic personality, always making people feel welcome, comfortable and cared for. She had a beautiful smile to compliment her sparkling blue eyes and a loud, hearty laugh that filled the room. She was someone you could count on to lend a helping hand and helping she did, as she had been President and Test Chair of the Skaneateles Figure Skating Club, President of the Jordan/Elbridge Children’s Workshop Preschool, a La Leche League Leader, bereavement committee member, Soup Supper volunteer, and Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion at St. Mary’s of the Lake in Skaneateles and made dance and figure skating costumes for local dance and figure skating performances. She was the previous owner of Kathy’s Kustom Sewing. She had worked at M&T Bank in the Elbridge and Skaneateles locations. Her most recent position was as the Branch Office Administrator at Edward Jones. She loved her volunteer work and careers, and she loved her coworkers dearly, as well as all the clients, customers and friends she encountered along the way. However, her greatest joy came from her family. She cherished her time with her daughter, Ashley. They were best friends who did everything together. From traveling for skating competitions and tests, to getting Mexican food at Tres Premo, to shopping anywhere and everywhere together, they were always side by side. Ashley was known as “Kathy’s shadow.” Her son, Jeffrey, was Kathy’s comic relief, always giving her reason to laugh the belly laugh we all loved. Kathy adored her son and thoroughly enjoyed the times she watched him compete as a black belt in karate. He was her strong, independent, dependable young man and she loved him, her daughter and her husband with her entire heart and soul. Kathy also loved the times spent with her mother, Vicky. They spent many lunches together at Mac’s Restaurant and had amazing times together laughing by the bonfire.
Kathy is survived by her husband, Bruce, her children, Jeffrey and Ashley, of Elbridge, her mother, Victoria Lee Hoffman, of Auburn, NY, her brother, Mark Gabriel, of Auburn, her sister and brother in law, Kathleen and James White of Elbridge, Mark and Sandy Murray of Skaneateles, and numerous nieces and nephews. She is pre-deceased by her father, Bill Gabriel of Solvay, and her grandparents, Myrle and Margaret Lee of Auburn. A mass of Christian burial will be held on Thursday, July 26th at 10am at St. Mary’s of the Lake Church. Calling hours will be held on Wednesday, July 25th from 4 to 7pm at Robert D. Gray Funeral Home, Skaneateles. Kathy will be buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery.  Contributions may be made to https://www.gofundme.com/kathy-murrays-funeral-expenses.

I am so, so sorry that this has happened. Kathy was a bright, smart, intelligent, beautiful woman. I was no relation to her, but she welcomed me into her home to visit with everyone when I stopped in with her Mother. She willl surely be missed by all who loved and knew her. My sincere condolences and love to all.

My deepest condolences to the family for this tremendous loss. May the words found at Isaiah 26:19 bring you comfort in knowing that you will one day see Kathy again.

Isaiah 26:19 "Your dead will live. My corpses will rise up. Awake and shout joyfully, You residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life"

Dear Murray family,
My sincerest condolences to your family. Life never prepare us for such loss! Kathlene sounded full of life & such personality. It's reassuring that the Bible has a wonderful promise that Jehovah God will not only swallow the sting of death forever found at Isaiah 25:8 also reunite us with our loved ones with there same characteristics (even her laugh) on a paradise earth! I hope these thoughts bring you some comfort during this difficult time.

Please accept our deepest sympathy. The words of Isaiah 25:8 have certainly been comforting to us--the promise of no more death. We know this promise refers to those living right here on the earth because there has never been death in heaven. Psalm 37:29.

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
