Susie McMurry spent her life helping others

Cool Story - Susie McMurry spent her life helping others

Mickey and Susie McMurry lived in a trailer next to his store for a while before they became well-known in the oil and gas industry before they became one of Wyoming's wealthiest families, and before they donated tens of millions of dollars to the state they both loved.

In 1973, the couple was hitched. It would take them twenty years before they found financial success in Wyoming's Jonah Field. In his formative years, Mickey worked nearly all of the time he was awake. Susie managed to get by using what they had.

They gained notoriety for their philanthropy following the discovery of Jonah Field and the founding of the McMurry Foundation. However, according to Trudi Holthouse, their daughter, they had always been charitable.

They welcomed needy children into their houses. They provided whatever assistance they could to friends and neighbors.

According to Trudi, "The Jonah Field and the money they received didn't affect who they were in terms of generosity." They already carried out those actions. Just how much they could do changed.

A 69-year-old Mickey passed away in 2015. After a protracted illness, Susie finally joined him on January 28. She was 76.

Trudi thinks that her parents ultimately succeeded in achieving their goals in life. Mickey aimed to make Wyoming a better place. "No matter how tiny or great it may be," Susie wished to assist those in need at the time. They lived their lives in just that manner.

In addition to innumerable other organizations, they donated to the Wyoming Medical Center, the University of Wyoming, Casper College, the Child Development Center of Natrona County, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming, and the Casper YMCA.

Susie participated in volunteer work at a number of the same locations as well as at their local Catholic church, St. Patrick's in Casper. She gave her all to the job at the hospital, especially.

"She was just a good, good person," Barbara Cubin, a 50-year friend of Susie and a former U.S. representative for Wyoming, said. She was "as near to a flawless person as there is," in my opinion.

The Casper philanthropist grew up in a two-bedroom home in the outlying mining town of Hanna with two elder half-sisters and a younger sister, Trudi's namesake. On the old roadway, her parents maintained a motel and a gas station. The entire family contributed by helping out with the cooking, cleaning, and front desk duties.

For the rest of her life, Susie bore the legacy of her subdued, obedient upbringing.

She and Mickey took in Trudi and Jillian, Trudi's sister, and fostered more children than Trudi can recall. Trudi said that her parents used to host her youth group, which included up to 45 youngsters, every Wednesday night when she was a teenager.

But her faith's influence didn't end with her. She left a special kind of inspiration and light in the lives of other St. Patrick's members, according to Ruzicka.

I have heard individuals express, "What a blessing she was," on an individual and intimate level. She served as an example for us, Some others claimed that she acted as their mentor. "I desired to resemble her."

Ruzicka was also changed by her.

Susie "was fully conscious that God blessed her despite all the (bad) things," he said. And that made it easier for me to realize that God is still blessing me.

Since Susie's passing, tributes have poured in from all around the world. detailing excellent things Trudi had never heard about, from people Trudi has never met. Trudi and her mother were forced to publicly lament Mickey after his untimely passing. This mourning is more intimate and tranquil, she claimed.

Susie left big, difficult shoes for anybody to fill. Trudi, however, is determined to carry on her mother's charitable work in her honor.

She declared: "I'm proud to be her daughter, proud to have had her as my mother, and proud to be able to celebrate her life with all of these people. What a nicer way to enter Heaven, surrounded by so many people who merely love you.”
