Carrie M. Ambuehl was born Jan. 14, 1902, in Norman County, Minn., the daughter of Paul and Olive (Iverson) Ambuehl. The family farmed near Ada, Minn., until moving to Wimbledon, where Carrie graduated from high school.
After attending North Dakota Agricultural College and teaching in a rural Barnes County School, Carrie married Marshall T. Murdoch in Valley City. They made their home in rural Grand Prairie Township, Barnes County, until 1938. While there, Marshall taught school and developed a reputation as a basketball coach. After three years in Valley City and Harvey, the family moved to Bismarck in 1941.
Carrie worked as a proofreader at the Bismarck Tribune for many years, and Marshall taught and coached at Bismarck High School until 1960. He then served as the superintendent of buildings and grounds for Bismarck Public Schools until retiring in 1970. Carrie and Marshall were active in community affairs. Marshall died in 1977.
She is survived by one daughter and son-in-law, Marlys and Dale Saxvik, Bismarck; one son, James, Bismarck; seven grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.
She was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; three sisters; and two brothers.
The family prefers memorials to Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center, where Mother received such good care for many years.
