IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Marie (Mitchell)
Murray
September 7, 1950 – September 18, 2025
DANVERS – Marie (Mitchell) Murray, 75, of Danvers and Salem, loving wife of Archie Cerullo, passed away on September 18, 2025 surrounded by her beloved family. Born in Waltham, MA, Marie was the daughter of the late John O. and Anna S. (Honekamp) Mitchell.
Marie was raised and educated in Danvers and Salem, and was a proud graduate of St. James High School in Salem. A hardworking and driven woman, she went on to own several successful small businesses.
At the heart of Marie's life was her family. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Always active, she filled her days with family gatherings, celebrations, and activities. One of her greatest joys was the annual family reunion at the beach in Wells, Maine, where she created lasting memories with those she loved most.
A passionate New England sports fan, Marie held season tickets to both the Patriots and the Celtics, and she also enjoyed cheering on the Red Sox and Bruins—always surrounded by her family. She gave generously of her time as well, volunteering and fundraising for the Bernie Mitchell Foundation and supporting the golf program at Bishop Fenwick High School.
Marie was known for her incredible organization and dedication. She rarely missed a moment in the lives of her loved ones—whether it was a game, recital, or school event. She proudly attended not only games but also practices, even driving four hours just to be present at her son John's hockey practice.
Her unwavering love, loyalty, and presence will be remembered always.
In addition to her parents, Marie is predeceased by her brother Bernie Mitchell.
Marie is survived by her husband, Archie Cerullo, her son, John Murray and his wife Stephanie, her step-children, Paula Elwell, Scott Cerullo, and Brian Cerullo, her siblings, Jack Mitchell and his wife Liz, Margaret Mitchell and her husband Arthur Larson, Mary Mitchell, Diane McGlynn and her husband Jack, and Nancy Jordan, her grandchildren, Amanda, Megan, Starla, Mikayla, Jolie, Nicholas, Alexis, Nico, and Gianna, her great grandchild, Violet, as well as many nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, and extended family.
