Mary Susan Murrow, 75, died peacefully on Thursday, February 19, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. Mary loved Jesus, her family, her friends, her neighbors, her church, all children, the homeless, the downtrodden, and the broken in spirit. The Lord blessed Mary with green pastures and quiet waters in her final chapter. She indulged in trips to the salon, pretty pink fingernails, and grew to love watching sports. She had many sunshine-filled and gentle days with great food and her loving community of friends and caregivers at Esplanade Gardens in San Antonio. Jesus saved the best for last. Praise the Lord.

We met Mary in August of 2025 when my mother-in-law moved into Esplanade Gardens. She was always happy, had a shirt that always had positive Christian words on it, and was friendly. We enjoyed getting to know the Kansas in her. She’ll be missed
My husband Bill and i have known your mom and dad from Westlink Christian Church. We were in SS and other study groups together for years. And various ministries.
We hope you have fond memories of your mother.
Blessings ,
Bill and Arlyn
