[Macon Telegraph, The (GA) - Friday, December 14, 2001]
FORSYTH - Elizabeth Bittick Murray, 104, died Wednesday, December 12,2001.
Services will be at 3P.M. Saturday at First Baptist Church with Dr. I. W. Bowen officiating. Burial will be in Forsyth City Cemetery.
Mrs. Murray was born in Monroe County, GA. She was the daughter of the late John Goodrum and "Jennie Bob" Simmons Bittick, and she was predeceased by her only child, her son, Jack Bittick Murray, Sr in 1989.
She was employed with E.W. Banks Company, a local clothing and dry good store, for sixty years, the oldest member of First Baptist Church, a member of Cabaniss Chapter 415 U.D.C. and a former member of American Legion Auxiliary.
Survivors: daughter-in-law, Martha Eunice Murray, Forsyth; grandchildren, Jack B. Murray, Jr of Fairfax, VA, Betty M. Green of St. Mary's, GA, Nelle M. Ivey of Forsyth and Jennie M. Dodd of Forsyth; twelve great grandchildren; two great great grandsons and numerous nieces and nephews.
Addendum from the family:
She never learned to drive and walked everywhere, including the mile from her home to her work, four times a day. She was a prim and serious 'Victorian' lady outwardly, but was enormously ticklish, which her grandchildren delighted in exploiting unexpectedly. Rather than using her vacuum cleaner, she would slowly walk her carpeted floors and bend over to clean by hand, accumulating in one hand the labored work of the other. She and her sister Virginia lived together for decades, and were a terrific 'chef' team. The family dinners were legendary. Our memories, smiles and tears of loss are her great gift to us.
