Barbara A.

(Doherty) Murray

Mrs. When Barbara began to slow down on the slopes, she got herself a membership at Plant Fitness and took classes at the Walpole Senior Center, keeping fit and making friends at the same time. After graduation Barbara enrolled at Dean College in Franklin, Massachusetts, where she studied business and administration.

In addition to being a member of the Senior Center, Barbara was also a member of the Italian American Ladies Bocce League. She married George T. Murray on June 27. Married for 57 years, George died October 29, 2010. Though she and Pete never had children of their own, Barbara was thrilled to be an aunt, and later, great aunt to her many nieces and nephews and looked forward to seeing them.

In her free time, Barbara loved to stay active.

She fell even more in love with Pete as the years went on, with Pete being just as besotted as Barbara, the pair fiercely devoted to one another. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
The Family will honor Barbara’s life by gathering on Wednesday, November 29th in Massachusetts National Cemetery, Bourne where her graveside service will be held at 11:15 a.m.

The newlyweds made their married home first in Norfolk, Massachusetts, before purchasing their home in East Walpole in 1964.

Barbara's family was her life. Friends are welcome if they so choose, but Barbara wished for a true Celebration of Life and wanted a party! Born in East Walpole, Massachusetts on April 16, 1936, she was the daughter of the late James and Lillian (Maki) Michenzie.

Barbara was raised in Walpole and attended the local public schools, graduating from Walpole High School with the class of 1953.

Barbara was an avid bowler earlier in life, in a Wal-Lex league for 25+ years, along with enjoying ceramics.

Winters were spent hitting the slopes on Mt. Cranmore, and warmer weather meant teeing off at the Wentworth Golf Resort in nearby Jackson Village. At the same time, she found employment at the Boston Envelope Company based out of Dedham, using the skills she learned in school to serve as an accounting clerk.

Barbara married the love of her life, George Peter "Pete" Murray, on November 8, 1959, in her home parish of Blessed Sacrament Church.

Barbara loved to spend time with her siblings as well and even served as the primary caregiver for her brother Jim for many years of his life. Pete and Barbara had a condo in North Conway, New Hampshire, which enabled them to enjoy all the outdoor activities that the region had to offer. At home, Barbara loved to curl up with a good book at the end of the day, relaxing after a date night out with Pete at one of their favorite restaurants like the Horse and Carriage or Beacons.
