Shirley Murray Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on May 10, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Shirley Murray of Shelby, Iowa. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Shirley Murray to show support.
As we bid Shirley farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Shirley is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Edwin O. Nielsen and Wilamina "Minnie" C. Bogs (Ford Murray); her siblings, Helen and Wilbur; her daughter Kimberly Williams; and her grandson Joseph Williams.
She is survived by: her children, Karla Mathis of Hudson, FL, Mark Murray (Dolly) of Council Bluffs, IA, Kathy Murray-Andersen (Kevin) of Papillion, NE and Michael Murray of Crescent, IA; and her brothers, Larry of Whittier, CA and Donald of Council Bluffs, IA. She is also survived by 16 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren.
