Dawn M. Murray, 83, of Conestoga, passed away at the Gardens at Stevens, Thursday, April 11, 2024. Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late James and Mary (Leibhart) Lenox. Dawn was the loving wife of the late James Murray, Sr. who died in 1987.

Of the Christian Faith, Dawn loved traveling throughout the United States, having visited all but 6 of the states. She enjoyed going to the casino and babysitting her children’s cats, dogs, and goats. But more than anything, her family was most precious to her, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchild.
Dawn is survived by her two sons: James E., husband of Angie, of Holtwood, and Scott B. Murray, of Conestoga; a grandson, Ryan Murray; a great-granddaughter, Scottlyn; siblings: James C. Lenox, III, husband of Kay, of Lancaster, Susanne H. Stoutzenberger, wife of Ron, of Lancaster, and Mary A. Lenox; and sister-in-law, Diane Lenox. Dawn was preceded in death by her grandson, Scott B. Murray, Jr. and her brother, William P. Lenox.
Graveside services will be held at 11AM, Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at Laurel Hill Memorial Gardens, 845 Laurel Hill Road, Columbia, PA 17512. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions in Dawn’s memory be made to The Parkinson’s Foundation.

Dear cousins, I was so very sorry to read of Dawn’s passing. I received a letter from her not too long ago, so am thankful that we had been in touch recently. Although I don’t know most of you, I feel that I do, as Dawn shared so much about all of you. She was my “genealogy buddy,” and the two of us did an awful lot of work together on the Lenox, Kilheffer and Fenstermacher families, as well as just getting together for lunch and visits. You are all in my prayers. I will miss her! Your cousin, Kim Wittel (gr grandaughter of Fannie)

You will be truly missed by everyone. I am so happy that we had the opportunity to travel together and create lasting memories. You will always have the best banana bread and no one will come close to it. As we grieve with the loss, there is comfort in knowing that you are in good company. Love you always
