Septima Holmes Porcher Murray, 91, of Charleston, South Carolina, wife of the late V. Thomas Murray died Sunday, June 18, 2017.
Sep was born March 29, 1926, in Tampa, Florida, daughter of the late Henry Francis Porcher and the late Septima Toomer Holmes Porcher.
She lived most of her life in Atlanta, Georgia. She graduated from Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, and later became a radiology technician at Emory University Hospital. She was a member of the Junior League of Atlanta and the National Society of the Colonial Dames of the State of Georgia and later of South Carolina. She was a member of All Saints' Episcopal Church in Atlanta and then St. Philip's Church in Charleston. Sep was an artist and had a knack for capturing a likeness. She did remarkable pastel portraits of many of her friends' children. She had a wonderful collection of antique dolls and dollhouses. Her love of dolls started at an early age when she was allowed to choose any doll at Christmastime from her great-aunt Helen "Pinky" Bailey's wardrobe at 18 Church Street. Our dad used to say, "I've never known anyone that has as many people refer to her as their best friend."
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Allison and Douglas S. McAdams, MD, of Mount Pleasant, SC, and their three children, Mac, Seppie, and Rob; son and daughter-in-law, V.T. "Chip" Murray, Jr., and Vicky of Lookout Mountain, GA, and their six children, Haskell (Katie), Drew (Megan), Babs, Will (Anne), Anna, and Sam; son and daughter-in-law, John Porcher "Jack" Murray and Jann of Mount Pleasant, SC, and their three children, Heyward, Courtney (Scott), and Susannah; seven great grandchildren; and her sister, Frances H. Porcher of Charleston, SC.
