Life Reflections
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day. II Timothy 4:7-8
God saw the road for our loved one was getting rough and that the hills were too hard to climb. God gently closed her eyes and whispered, "This rose is ready." Her lowly hours, her days of pain, her ever patient mortal frame have found sweet rest at last.
Celia Joe Murray was born on June 24, 1939 to the late Lee and Lorine Keels Joe in Greeleyville, SC. She entered into eternal rest on Sunday, September 23, 2018 at Troy Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing Home in Troy, NY. Nine siblings preceded her in death.
She received her formal education in the public school system of Williamsburg County. She was employed for many years with Seton Health and Daka Food Service.
