Betty Tyre Murray, 90, passed peacefully Wednesday (March 1, 2017) at Morning Pointe Memory Care in Calhoun, Georgia after an extended illness. Mrs. Murray was born in Waycross to the late J.L. and Eva Tuten Tyre and had made Waycross her home for most of her life. She started her professional career with Atlantic Coastline Railroad serving as a messenger delivering messages to different offices around town, all by riding her bicycle. After she married Frank M. Murray, Sr. they opened their own business Murray Plumbing Company where she served as secretary.
Mrs. Murray had many passions in life, some which developed overtime like her love of baseball. Her sons were very involved in sports growing up and she always went to their games. She loved to bird watch always looking for hummingbirds while they were feeding. Mrs. Murray was a member of Second Baptist Church and will always be remembered for her quick wit and her sweet smiles. She was a devoted wife, mother and loving “Nana”. All who knew her understood what a treasure she was.
Along with her parents and husband she is preceded in death by five sisters, Eva Chaney, Grace Overstreet, Hertha Jones, Evelyn Fogel, Sarah Paulson; four brothers, Lawton Tyre, Latt Tyre, Johnny Tyre and Fleming Tyre.
