Margaret Cora Murr, 80, of Glasgow passed away Thursday, November 26, at Francis Mahon Deaconess Hospital, surrounded by her family.
Margaret was born April 2, 1935 in Glasgow, Montana to Glen and Virginia (McGillis) Wagar. She married Leo L. Murr October 12, 1954 at St. Raphael’s and the couple made their home in Glasgow. She was a member of St. Raphael’s Catholic Church.
Margaret 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. Margaret was truly dedicated to her husband and family, 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 is, “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.
Margaret is survived by her loving husband of 61 years, Leo Murr; children, Gwen (Dean) Hawkins of Glasgow, Leo (Diane) Murr of Wahpeton, North Dakota, Valerie (Chuck) Barstad of Glasgow, and Kent Murr of Glasgow, 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Preceding her in death are her parents, Glen and Virginia Wagar; brother, Gordon; sister, Tiny; son, Trent Murr; granddaughter, Amy Murr and son-in-law, Curtis Johnson.
