Margaret Cora Murr

Margaret Cora (Wagar) Murr, 80, of Glasgow, Mont., passed away Thursday, Nov. 26, 2015, at the Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital, surrounded by her family.

She was born April 2, 1935, in Glasgow, to Glen and Virginia (McGillis) Wagar. She married Leo L. Murr Oct. 12, 1954, at St. Raphael's and the couple made their home in Glasgow. She was a member of St. Raphael's Catholic Church.

She will be remembered for her big smile. She loved to crochet and embroider, and play bingo and pinochle. She also loved to dance. She never missed a sporting event; especially when it came to her grandchildren's participation in the activity. She could be found in the front row with pom poms in hand, cheering on every player and letting the officials know when they made a bad call. She was truly dedicated to her husband and family and she took pride in everything they did.

In her Bible she had written, "Whenever I have a child, grandchild, or great-grandchild in my presence I am the happiest, they are all gifts from God." Another quote that was found was, "Don't worry about anything, give it to God, he's up all night anyway." She loved the Lord with all her heart and showed it in all she did. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Preceding her in death were her brother, Gordon; one sister, Tiny; one son, Trent Murr; and a son-in-law, Curtis Johnson.

Survivors include her loving husband of 61 years, Leo Murr; children, Gwen Hawkins and her husband, Dean, of Glasgow, Leo Murr and his wife, Diane, of Wahpeton, N.D., Valerie Barstad and her husband, Chuck, of Glasgow, and Kent Murr of Glasgow; 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

A visitation took place Monday, Nov. 30, from 2-5 p.m. at the Bell Mortuary with family receiving friends and family from 4-5 p.m. A rosary was recited at 6 p.m. at St. Raphael's Catholic Church in Glasgow.

A funeral Mass was celebrated at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1, at St. Raphael's Catholic Church, with Father Jose Valliparambil officiating, followed by burial at the Highland Cemetery.

Bell Mortuary of Glasgow was in charge of arrangements.
