Dori Ann Murry's Story: A Legacy That Lives On

Dori Ann Murry, of Granite Falls, Wash. passed away on May 31, 2014 after a valiant battle against cancer. Dori inspired everyone she met. She always had a smile and a kind word. She saw beauty in everything and always found a positive way of looking at life. She saw greatness in everyone, and helped people discover it in themselves. Her Faith in God is an inspiration to us all. 

Dori loved sports and was an All-State shortstop and went to San Francisco State on an athletic scholarship. She was a successful real estate agent, and even more successful as Team Leader of Keller Williams Realty Bothell. In that role, she was able to lead her agents, to challenge them, to counsel and guide them. She coached them to find what it was in life they wanted and t

hen helped them discover ways to succeed beyond their dreams.          

She met Matthew Hartman in 1999, and they were married in 2006. Dori loved to challenge herself, and was active in the PSI Seminars, a series of personal growth workshops. She believed that we can achieve anything if we dream and have faith. She is survived by her husband, Matthew; and her five kids: Aidan, Alyssa, Brittney, Chelsea Rose and Connor. Her family includes her parents, James Murry and Freida Foye, her siblings, Cindy, Marci, Pam, Penni, Tim, Tammy and Tara, and many nieces and nephews, and three beautiful grandchildren, Brooklyn, Brock, and Hattie Rae. Dori loved nature, hiking, photography, and riding her spirited horse, Moonshine. She loved spending time in her ever-changing flower gardens. She enjoyed sitting in the swing on the deck at their home on Lake Gardner. 

The world has lost a beautiful heart, and Heaven has gained an amazing soul. At Keller Williams Bothell, the Dori Murry Champion Award was established to recognize agents who have made a significant contribution to the Market Center. Even after 10 years, Dori’s legacy lives on at Keller Williams.
