THE DALLES, Ore. – Eleanor Wahl Murray fell ill on a Lewis and Clark Cruise and passed away at the Advent Hospital in The Dalles, Ore., a few days later on Aug. 3, 2024.
She was predeceased by her parents, Richard and I. Mary Wahl; and by her husband of 50 years, Bruce A. Murray.
She graduated from South Portland High School and Harvard College. During her 50 years with Bruce, they enjoyed skiing, golf, cards (especially Bridge), entertaining, and most importantly, sailing the Maine coast and circling the North Atlantic. She taught school, owned and operated two businesses with Bruce, and cherished their 10 years of living abroad and travel.
After 20 years of happy land retirement in Spruce Creek Fly-In, she moved to Westminster of St. Augustine, Fla. in 2019. There, she made a new life with new friends, continued to travel some, and played cards and golf.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
