Sally Lee Murray, age 62, of Pompton Lakes, formerly of Saddle Brook, passed peacefully at home on Friday, March 10, 2017.

She was born in Passaic, to Anthony and Marcia Engravalle, and raised in Saddle Brook. She graduated from Saddle Brook High School with the Class of 1976 and continued her education at the Berkley Business School.

Sally worked for the American Cyanamid Corporation’s world headquarters in Wayne and went on to work as a Quality Assurance Specialist for the Purdue Pharma Company in Totowa for twenty-four years. She later worked in the Quality Assurance Operations of Lohman Therapy Systems in West Caldwell up until recently when her battle with Glioblastoma forced her to stop working.

She was a member of the Our Savior Lutheran Church in Fair Lawn for many years.

Sally will be remembered as a loving, kind, non-judgmental, all around good person. She was fiercely loyal to both her family and friends.

Sally met Philip Murray, who had just finished his years of service in the United States Air Force, at a friend’s home in 1980. They fell in love and married on November 12, 1983 at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Saddle Brook and honeymooned in St Lucia. As newlyweds Sally and Philip initially lived in an apartment in Little Ferry and soon found a home in Pompton Lakes where they have lived since 1985. They have enjoyed a loving, caring, “soul mates,” marriage of thirty-four years.

Sally was the beloved wife of Philip Murray; beloved mother of Brittany, Sean, and Ryan Murray; devoted daughter of Anthony Engravalle and the late Marcia Engravalle (2003); dear sister of Suzanne Weiss and the late Richard Weiss, Cindy Engravalle, and Marcia and Fred Parisi. She is also survived by her loving mother-in-law Jane Murray; sister-in-law Patti and her husband Lenny D’Amico; brother-in-laws Peter and his wife Janis Murray and Paul and his wife Melissa Murray. She was the much loved aunt of Rick, Kate, Jake, Tony, Laura, Kevin, Katie, Colby, Devin, Kyle, Courteney, Ashton, Colleen, Douglas, Danny, Rayna, David, Olivia Sage, and Kevin.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to The Valley Hospital Foundation, 223 N. Van Dien Ave., Ridgewood, NJ 07450 would be greatly appreciated.
