Muryl was born October 14, 1938 in Lynchburg, South Carolina, a daughter of the late Clark W. Thomas and Lottie Carter Thomas. She was a member of Ashley River Baptist Church and cultivated a beautiful biblical garden on the grounds. Muryl was the consummate homemaker but equally loved buying and selling antiques, teaching kindergarten and Vacation Bible School. She especially valued her tenure at the Wentworth Mansion.
