Anna Patricia Murray, aged 100, passed away on September 5, 2026, in Arlington Virginia. She was born on May 28, 1926, in Washington, D.C. at Providence Hospital. She is preceded in death by her parents Mr. Francis J. and Mrs. Mary E. Murray, and her siblings Mary E. Murray, Mary F. Mazzullo, Francis J. Murray, Jr., Catherine L. Reed, Marjorie M. Sproesser, and John O. Murray, Sr. (Joy). She is survived by her loving and devoted sister, Ms. Rose M. Murray of Arlington, Va., and many nieces and nephews.

Anna grew up in Southern Maryland. Her early years of education took place in a one-room schoolhouse with her sister Mary Francis, and they attended school together until her graduation from Gwynn Park High School in 1944.

After graduation, Anna held many positions in both the private and public sectors. She worked in private business for 31 years and the Federal government for 26 years. She retired from the General Services Administration in 1988.

Anna celebrated her 100th birthday this year. One of her greatest joys was sharing stories and memories of her life, family, neighbors, and friends with others. She enjoyed reading, cooking, sewing, traveling, and spending time with loved ones.

She was a devout and faithful Catholic and enjoyed helping those in need.
