Jennifer Williams Isley McMurray, 46, passed away July 13, 2021 at a local hospital. She was born February 10, 1975 in Little Rock, AR, and was a graduate of Medina Valley High School in Castroville, TX.
Jennifer enjoyed life, people, cooking, friends and family. She often cooked for elderly neighbors, the dialysis staff, and others. Until her kidneys failed she loved working. She worked at Seaworld, American Airlines, a nursing home, JB Hunt, various financial service jobs, and brought her pleasant disposition and love of people to brighten lives. She was a giver and if anyone needed help she would be the first to offer.
Her radiant smile was the delight of many, but it always shined the brightest for her Daddy - and maybe her nieces and nephew. She had her mom‘s fierce determination to conquer all illnesses and adversaries and together they faced her uncountable surgeries and health problems.
Her love for her sisters and brother was infinite you would never find a braver, more loving and caring person anywhere! Even when she was having serious health issues she worried about others. She was a miracle!!! Four years and nine months ago she was given no option but hospice with 1 to 3 weeks to live and love. Dr. Beth Peterson stepped in and blessed us with precious time. Thanks to all the staff at dialysis and especially Adam Crabtree who always listened and did everything in his power to help her.
She is survived by her husband Jerry McMurray of Texarkana, AR; parents, Jerry and Sandra Williams of Texarkana; sisters, Melanie Yeakley of Beaver Creek, Ohio, and Misty Williams and Michael Collins of Marshall, TX; brother, Jerry Williams and Erica Lamb of Texarkana, AR; step son, Caleb McMurray of Fouke, AR; nieces and nephews, Branson and Ellie Yeakley and Kailey Yeakley all of Ohio and Devannah Williams of Winterhaven, FL, Katelyn Collins and Brooklyn Collins of Marshall, TX.

Family will receive friends from 2 to 3 p.m., Saturday at Pisgah Baptist Church prior to the service.
