Murl was born to Alfred and Mary Richardson on Dec. 15, 1915, at the home of her grandmother in Nez Perce.
She attended schools at Lapwai and Orofino, and graduated in 1933. Working for the state unemployment office in Orofino, Murl was transferred to the office in Moscow in 1941. It was there that she met and married William Watson that same year.
In 1943, the couple moved to the Watson family farm at Melrose to provide assistance to William's father in the farm's operation. They were to reside there until 1960, when they moved back to Moscow, and then to Lewiston, where Murl held several jobs in the ensuing years and William worked for the city. They would also make several more moves later to Grand Coulee, Orofino, and ultimately back to Lewiston, where Murl resided for the past 30 years.
She was preceded in death by her three brothers, Joe, Homer and Lyle Richardson; two sisters, Clara Akers and Alice Crea; husband William Watson; and son John R. Watson. She is survived by daughter Janet Hunter; four grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
