Gale Francis Murray was born on December 26, 1957, in Camden, New Jersey, as the fourth chil among ten to the late Paul Harrison and Barbara Ann Murray.  She was sadly preceded in death by her sister Leona, her brothers Jason , John, and Dwayne, and her brother-in-law John Bynum.

The Murray household was known for its strict yet lovingt environment, built on a solid foundation of love, unity, and family.  At a young age, Gale was instilled with vaules of hard work, kindness, and the importance of providing for her family, and she embraced these ideals wholeheartly.  She cherished time spent with her family, relished cookouts, enjoyed playing cards, loved fishing, and could often be found listening to fer favorite oldies all a day long. Her family, and her grandchildren were the focus of her life.

Gale possessed a heart so big and full of love that the word "no" seldom crossed her lips. She was a naturally giving person, always ready to help anyone in need without asking for anything in return.  She instilled in her children the importance of honor in all their actions and the power of forgiveness, encouraging them to let go of negativity knowing the toll it can take on one's spirit.

In October of 2024 Gale was diagnosed with lung cancer. She immediately began chemotherapyn and radiation treatment.  She was thriving and living her life all while maintaing her faith and her physical and mental strength.  She had the will to keep fighting and the will to live.  On February 17th she grew tired and said she wanted to go home. Not just her physical residence but her heavenly residence. On the 18th, in her final moments and her last breath, Gale was surrounded by her children, her sisters and family and friends.
