Mary Ellen Murray, beloved sister, aunt, and friend passed away peacefully at her home on October 31. She was 74. Mary was a lifelong Patchogue-village resident, born to Anna and Edward Murray in 1945. She was their second child, and she graduated from Patchogue-Medford High School in 1963. She attended college at Suffolk Community, and left to work on Wall Street for a brokerage firm. As a young woman, she had a few other jobs before joining the Internal Revenue Service, a career where she flourished, working there in various roles for almost fifty years—she was said to be so punctual one could set their clock by her. She loved going to dinner with her IRS family, researching family ancestry, spending time by the Great South Bay with a good cup of coffee, attending Broadway plays followed by a good meal at Carmine’s, Irish culture, and reading. Perhaps most of all, she loved spending time with, and doting on, her large circle of family—never forgetting a holiday or birthday. Mary is survived by her two siblings and their spouses, Ann and Ralph Zegel of Patchogue, NY and Edward and Lynn Murray of Pahrump, NV. She is also survived by her many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews including: Debbie and Jay Whidden of Oceanside, CA, Heather, Ryan and their daughter of San Diego, CA; Ralph and Erick Zegel of Medford, NY; Kim Zegel-Becker of Wantagh, NY; Chris and Marianna Zegel of Morristown, NJ; Jeff, Theresa, Samantha, Cory, and Christy Zegel of Shirley, NY; Trish Langer, Vinny Pizzitola and their daughter of Patchogue, NY; Paul and Trudy Langer, and their children of Patchogue, NY; David, Syndee, Ali, and Cassie Zegel of Medford, NY; Lynn, Chris, Gwenyth and Preston Chandler of Chester, NH and Edward Murray of Las Vegas, NV. She is also survived by lifelong friends including Jean Bell of Big Key Island, FL and Sheila Jones Iarocci of Patchogue, NY and countless others, all of whom will miss her terribly.
