BIBLE WORD SEARCH ANSWERS Leoral Natalie Murray Sept. 26, 1922 - April 16, 2020 At age 97, Leoral Natalie Erbe Murray passed peacefully at Robison Jewish Health Center in Portland. Known for years as "Lee" but preferring "Natalie," Leoral was born in Bowdle, South Dakota, with her family eventually settling on a small farm in Tenmile, Oregon. After graduating from high school she married Orin Burke Murray and moved to the Eugene and McKenzie River areas. After raising three children Leoral worked in a variety of medical assistant roles until 1983 when at age 60, she grad- uated from Clackamas Community College to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), exemplifying a work ethic she imparted to her children. She was generous, compassion- ate, and loved helping others until she retired at age 79. Leoral was preceded in death by the love of her life, Orin Burke Murray, son Orin Richard Murray, parents Howard John and Clara Ethel Erbe, sisters Sue March and June Kirkpatrick, brothers Bill and Weston Erbe. She is survived by daughter Diana Murray Ness of Portland, son Darrell Paul Murray of Walnut Creek, California, son-in-law Stan Ness, daughter-in- law Leah Eskenazi, grandsons Ben Murray and Jon Hayes, granddaughter Shirene Braim, great-grandsons Connor and Kruse Limbocker, and by many nieces, nephews, and cousins that brightened her life. She will be greatly missed, but will be warmly remembered in the hearts and minds of those who shared her life. Tentatively, a private family celebration of life is planned for a later time. Those wishing to do so may make a memorial gift to Robison Jewish Health Center in Portland, or another charitable organization of choice.

Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God. Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come ... He will come to save you.”’ — Isaiah 35: 1-4 unday our message at church was on facing fear in post-Easter Jerusalem, and in current Covid- 19 life. Our pastor used “face” as an acronym to develop four points; later I began to work with the word “fear.” Years ago I remember attending training on overcom- ing fear. As a young Army offi cer I realized that fear was a real concern, not only fear for myself during combat, but fear of failure as a leader. Today the fears are very different: what if I were to contract the virus? What if I were to pass it on to a family member and then watch them die? What if ... what if? As I thought about my own use of “fear” as an acronym, I developed the following: S BOB BECK EBBERT UNITED METHODIST LAY LEADER F – Find friends and supporters to talk to (using the phone or computer to maintain social distancing). Fears diminish when you are not alone. E – Educate yourself. Use reliable sources - what is the potential for catching the virus, or of actually dying from it? A – Accept what you can do to protect yourself and your family. With Covid-19 we are encouraged to stay home, wash your hands frequently, clean surfaces, wear a mask, maintain social distancing. R – React with hope and faith. Civilization has gone through many plagues and crises over the centuries. Today we have better science – this will get better. It is Spring. Enjoy the fl owers and the birds that sing. Be safe.
