Wellsville loses its ‘Boss Lady’ at age 74
WELLSVILLE — Her Facebook quote said all about Nancy Murray’s philosophy on life: “You get as good as you give. Play hard, life’s short.”
The village and those who knew Murray are mourning her loss. Wellsville’s “Boss Lady” died Thursday morning at age 74.
She had been re-elected in November 2019 to her second term as mayor and had spearheaded Wellsville’s exit from fiscal emergency in midst of a pandemic.
Wellsville Local School District Superintendent Richard Bereschik expressed shock at the loss of his friend Thursday afternoon. “(She) was an integral part of the village of Wellsville. She bled orange and black and was a great partner to the district. Her support and guidance will be missed by everyone in the Wellsville Local School District and the village.
For example, when the village received its C.A.R.E.S. Act moneys in 2020, Murray believed a top priority was spending $12,000 on 30 new laptops for Wellsville schools to distribute to students who had a need but not access to computers at home to access distance learning.
Murray had said that it the village was at risk of losing the money, she would rather spend it on the youth.
That was the kind of dedication that Murray had for her constituents — young and old — that made her so beloved.
It also was that determination that helped her spearhead the village’s quick exit from fiscal emergency.
To achieve that goal, Murray led the village’s effort to get residents to pass a half percent income tax hike in 2017, to alter the municipal fee structure and sell capital assets for more than $477,000.
At the Zoom meeting that eventually led to the state lifting the distress status, state Auditor Keith Faber credited Murray and Fiscal Officer Hoi Wah for Wellsville’s success. “The village of Wellsville has financially struggled for quite some time, but I hope the positive path they are on now is sustainable and valued by the community.”
Dale Vitale, an assistant attorney general with the state, specifically credited Murray with uniting a “disjointed team and really a whole village that frankly was not in good shape, and you had everyone working toward this goal despite so many personal challenges. I always marveled at your quiet determination and leadership when I would get to visit.”
Murray managed to tackle the fiscal emergency, while mourning the loss of her husband and surviving breast cancer during her inaugural mayoral term.
A former employee of Columbiana County Job and Family Services and Auditor Kim Woomer, Murray seemed to be the perfect mayor at the perfect time to deal with the village’s financial issues.
Her former council colleague John Morrow, who now serves on the Wellsville school board, probably said it best: “In my opinion, Nancy Murray was the best mayor of Wellsville. She saved Wellsville from fiscal emergency quickly and ended the ‘good ol’ boy’ and ‘buddy’ system of Wellsville politics. Most of all Nancy loved Wellsville.”
When she assumed the mayoral office in January 2016, one of her first announcements was that she officially would swear in then-Lt. Ed Wilson as the village’s next police chief after he had served as interim after the death of Joe Scarabino in 2014 for almost two years.
Wilson had not been appointed earlier because of a quarrel between the previous mayor and village council, according to media reports.
Murray had told a reporter that the community wanted to see Wilson –who had more than three decades of service to the village –as its police chief.
Chief Wilson recalled that decision when thinking about Murray Thursday night. “Nancy Murray was a tremendous lady and even better mayor. She listened to the people, and I hope whoever steps in also shares her pride and dignity for this town. I’m going to sadly miss her.”
Village solicitor John Gamble declined to comment on the succession issue.
However, in communities where you see a mayor vacate an elected office midterm like this, generally the municipality’s council President Pro Tempere fills the slot if he elects to take the challenge.
In this case, Randy Allmon, who has served as a councilman since 2014 and announced his intent to run for another term in spring, would be next in succession.
It is unknown if Allmon will elect to hold the seat and run for mayor in 2023, when Murray’s term would have ended.
Local officials shared their thoughts regarding Wellsville Mayor Nancy Murray, who died Thursday morning:
“Nancy (Murray) was an integral part of the village of Wellsville. She bled orange and black and was a great partner to the district. Her support and guidance will be missed by everyone in the Wellsville Local School District and the village. I considered her to not only be a friend of the school but also a personal friend.” –Wellsville school Superintendent Richard Bereschik.
“There is nobody I know that cared more about the village of Wellsville, its citizens and her employees more than Mayor Nancy Murray.” –Wellsville village Administrator Jarrod Grimm.
“It is a huge loss for the community. Nancy (Murray) did an amazing job for the village. Even most importantly, she was a great personal friend and I will miss her.” — East Liverpool Municipal Court Judge Dominic Frank, who served as Wellsville’s village solicitor before taking the bench last year.
“Nancy (Murray) was just a good person. I think her goal was to make Wellsville a better place to live and work. I hope whoever carries the torch has the ambition.” — East Liverpool Mayor Greg Bricker.
“Nancy Murray was the best thing to happen to Wellsville. She loved our village and residents and was a tough, smart lady. We all loved her, and it was a privilege to serve with her.” –Wellsville council member Karen Dash.
“Nancy Murray is a tremendous lady and even better mayor, one of best I served under. She listened to the people. I hope whoever steps in also shares her pride and dignity for the town. I’m going to sadly miss her.” –Wellsville Police Chief Ed Wilson.
“In my opinion, Nancy Murray was the best mayor of Wellsville. She saved Wellsville from fiscal emergency quickly and ended the ‘good ol’ boy’ and ‘buddy’ system of Wellsville politics. Most of all, Nancy loved Wellsville.”— John Morrow, member of the Wellsville school board and her former colleague on Wellsville village council.
