Elizabeth Murray
MADISON COUNTY - Elizabeth
Cornelison Murray was born in
Athens on November 11, 1927. She
died on Friday, June 7, 2013, follow
ing an extended pulmonary illness.
She was the youngest child of Jessie
(Powell) and Walton Cornelison of
Athens. Mrs. Murray was preceded
in death by her parents, seven broth
ers, and two sisters.

of 67 years W.C. “Bill” Murray,
whom she married after he returned
from World War II; daughters, Rev.
Jennifer Horton, Athens, Julianne
Murray, Hull, and Janice Flanagan,
Gainesville; grandchildren, Tom
(Maria) Horton, St Petersburg,

Lanard, Athens, and Jess (Abby)
Logan, Decatur; great-grandsons,
Tristan Amouroux, Joshua Horton,
Jakob Amouroux, Hayden Amouroux,
Seth Lanard, and Silias Lanard; and
numerous nieces and nephews.
In 2000, she retired with 25 years
of service from St. Mary’s Hospital,
where she had been the director
of the medical records department.
As a pioneer in the field of medi
cal records, she was one of the first
persons to be certified as a medical
records librarian. Her work at the
state and national levels to bring
consistency for certification to this
new field was noted with recognition
and commendation.
After retiring, she began a career
of extensive volunteer work. She was
an active member of Mt. Hermon
Presbyterian Church of Ila for many
years, serving numerous terms as
elder and clerk of session. She also
served on denominational commit
tees. She was part of the Committee
on Ministry of Northeast Georgia
Presbytery for five terms. She was
a commissioner to the General
Assembly, a national meeting of
Presbyterians. Her desire to help oth
ers extended beyond the borders of
the USA, she was on a mission team
to build houses in Pedras Negras,
Mexico. In later life, she was an
active member of the women’s Bible
study group at Central Presbyterian
Church in Athens, where she is a
current member.
Mrs. Murray was an avid reader,
often reading five or more books in
a week; her taste in literature ranged
from classic to light fiction along with
nonfiction and theology subjects. She
also spent time researching many
community issues and made state
ments in public forums in Madison
County; she routinely lobbied state
representatives on behalf of the pub
lic library system in Georgia. She
was a past president of the Madison
County Library Board, past president
of the Friends of the Library, and
a member of the Athens Regional
Library Executive Board. She was
one of the driving forces for remodel
ing of the Madison County Library.
The book sales for the library were
one of her favorite events; a few days
before her death, she had designated
books from her shelves to go to the
library for the book sale.
Gardens were important to her
and she enjoyed visiting different
sites to see various settings. Her
collection of daffodils and day lilies
were a source of fun...always look
ing forward to seeing the new bulbs
available each year. One year she
traveled to Holland to see the tulips
in bloom. Another year, she went
to Hawaii to see tropical gardens.
While in Italy, she visited botanical
gardens as well as gardens of indi
viduals...no garden was too vast or
small...she liked to see the plants in
their unique settings...the azaleas at
Callaway Gardens remained a favor
ite. She was a master gardener and
voluntered many years at the State
of Georgia Botanical Gardens. Her
camellia garden located in her back
yard near the lake is a pleasant view
from her kitchen window and it also
has provided many blooms for family
and friends through the years.
Additionally, she was a member
of Athens Chapter #268 Order of the
Eastern Star. She served as Worthy
Matron for three terms as well as
Grand Representative.
Elizabeth Murray had a zest for
life; she was fully engaged in her
family, her church, and her commu
nity. She loved the exploits of her
children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren, following their activi
ties closely...she often asked for an
update on their current lives. Her
last week of life found her looking to
the needs of her family; she prayed
for them, including those whom she
would not know in this life. One
of her final admonitions was to her
daughters to take care of their Dad
and to make sure they knew the
location of all the keys and impor
tant papers. Truly, a legacy of self
investment and concern for others is
left for all who knew and respected
her...praise be to GOD for all that
was good and faithful in the life of
Elizabeth Cornelison Murray.
A service to celebrate her life as
Witness to the Resurrection will be
held on Saturday, June 15, at 2 p.m.
at Central Presbyterian Church of
Athens. The Rev. Robert Bohler and
the Rev. Joe Berry will officiate. The
