Dear Members of the family of Gertrude Murray.
I am so sorry for the loss of the life of this remarkable woman. I met Mrs. Murray, always Mrs. Murray to me, in the 1990s when I worked at Historic Columbia Foundation and the Wisteria Garden Club met at the Mann-Simons Cottage. A Northern transplant married to a Columbia native, I learned about Southern flowers and gardens from Mrs, Murray, who became my mentor. Under her tutelage as a willing student, I won many ribbons at garden club flower shows.
Years laters she introduced me to her husband Julius, and together they asked me to write a successful nomination of the Carver Theatre to the National Register of Historic Places. I happily undertook the project, an early effort to document black history in Columbia, South Carolina. Years later when Gertrude and Julius sold the Carver Theatre to Allen University, they surprised me with a check for my work!
Mrs. Murray has been a potent influence on my life, and I regret that I shall now have only the memory and the inspiration of it.
With great affection and a profound sense of loss,
Regina Monteith
