MURRAY MAUREEN (CORISTON)
Age 72, died peacefully on December 23, after a long and valiant struggle with Parkinson's Disease. She was the cherished wife of Ambrose Murray, best mother in the world to Elizabeth Murray (Edward Dunlea) and Catherine Murray (Adam Agalloco); and the doting grandmother of Ambrose William Dunlea. She was the daughter of the late John William Coriston and Margaret Rose Coriston; and niece of the late Abbot Charles V. Coriston. She was the sister of Marilyn Wilt, James Coriston and William Coriston. Maureen was compassionate, brave and tenacious in all aspects of her life, a dear friend and an inspiration to many. She was a writer and public speaking coach, advising persons near and far. After a bout with breast cancer, she put pen to paper and wrote and published "You are Never Alone, Prayers and Meditations to Sustain you through Cancer", which has been a source of strength to many. She also authored "How to Sing in the Rain with a Frog in Your Throat" a collection of humorous stories to inspire, uplift, amuse and motivate those going through difficult moments. Throughout her life, she believed that there must be joy and laughter along the journey. In true fashion, Maureen kept her family laughing until the end.
