ALBANY - Martha M. (Hine) Murnighan, passed away on Sunday, June 14, 2020 at the Albany Medical Center, surrounded by her loving family.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her five sisters, Elizabeth, Evelyn, Virginia, Sylvia, and her twin, Beatrice.

The family would like to extend gratitude to the 5th floor staff at the Teresian House for their loving and compassionate care at this difficult time.
