Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryVIOLA MURRAY Late in the morning on August 12, 2013, surrounded by her family and adoring husband, Viola Mildred (Vi) Murray (nee Rolls) passed away following a brief but courageous battle with cancer. Born in Montreal on December 31, 1926, she was married to her dear husband Harold on October 1, 1949 at St. Brendan's in Montreal by her brother Leo, a Redemptorist priest. They relocated to Winnipeg in the fall of 1978 with their children, and subsequently spent their winters in Sarasota, Florida and their summers at the cottage in Falcon Lake. She will be remembered for her kind heart and legendary lemon meringue pie and warm hospitality. She is survived by her beloved husband Harold, her sister Maureen of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, her five children, Jane (Ron), Cathy (François) of Houston, Texas, Jim (Doreen), Marilyn (John) of Dryden, Ontario, and Jeff (Alainna) of Port Moody, British Columbia, and eight grandchildren. She will be fondly remembered by many friends and acquaintances. Vi was predeceased by her father Patrick, her mother Mary, and five of her siblings: Fr. Leo, George, Ed, Geraldine and Norman. The family appreciates immensely the loving care and compassion of Shellie Anderson and the 5th floor nursing staff; the gynecology and palliative care teams at the Women's Pavilion and Dr. Kevin Coates for his years of care. Viewing will be held on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. with prayers being held at 8:00 p.m. at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. A funeral mass will be held at St. Timothy's Parish, 135 John Forsyth Road on Thursday, August 15, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. with a reception to follow in the Parish Hall. She will be forever missed. In lieu of flowers please send a memorial to St. Timothy's gardening committee. Family and friends may sign a Book of Condolence at www.glenlawn.ca.

Vi was a close friend and neighbor in Sarasota. We went to many of her parties I could never figure out how she could fit sooo many friends in such a small space, but she did it and a great time was had by all always. I'll miss her very much. may she rest in peace. God Bless - Posted by: Roberta Duquette (friend) on: Aug 14, 2013
