for the elderly, a former teacher, and a champion of adult education, died
Sunday at home. She was the wife of the late Gordon F. Mulvey. Born in Bangor,
Maine, a daughter of the late Michael and Ann (Higgins) Crowley, she had lived
in Providence, and later, had lived in East Providence for more than 50 years.
She moved to Windham 7 years ago. A graduate of the St John's Catholic Girls
High School, where she was valedictorian of her class, she earned her bachelor's
degree from the University of Maine, followed by a master's degree, in 1953,

In 1961, she was appointed the administrator of the Rhode Island Division on
Aging, one of the first such programs in the country. That same year, she
co-founded the National Council of Senior Citizens, in Washington, D.C., an
organization established to advocate for creation of a national health-care
program for the elderly. She traveled the country, stumping for the program's
passage, until Medicare was enacted in 1965. A delegate to every White House
Conference on Aging since 1961, she was appointed to the Federal Council on
Aging in 1979, by President Carter, and had served on its technical review
committee for funding proposals submitted under Title IV, the Older Americans
Act of 1966-70. She had served a similar role as a reviewer for the Federal
Office of Education, and had worked for the Federal Housing Agency as a
consultant on the development of elderly housing in Rhode Island. Mrs. Mulvey

to work part-time as a regional program representative for senior employment
projects in New England. From 1963 to 1980, she was active as a lecturer and
seminar leader, with various colleges and agencies, on all aspects of aging and
adult education. She also had taught at the University of Rhode Island, where
she developed and taught a course on preparing for retirement, and helped to
establish the URI women's degree program. She had maintained an ongoing
involvement, since 1976, with the National Council of Senior Citizens, which she
had served as the organization's first vice president. In Rhode Island, she had
been a champion of the Generic Drug Bill, which was introduced in the General
Assembly in 1972 and passed in 1976, and had led the figt to require bi-monthly
unannounced inspections of nursing homes. She had served on a state legislative
committee tasked to study all aspects of Medicare, and had pushed for the
enactment of mandatory assignment, under which health providers may not charge
Medicare more than the fee the agency allows. Mrs. Mulvey also had published
several articles in professional journals, and had given testimony before
various congressional committees. Among her numerous awards were a Distinguished
Achievement Award from the University of Maine, in 1980; a Distinguished
Achievement Award from Berwick Academy, in 1981; a Justice for All Award from

[Providence RI Journal, Tuesday 30 Mar 2004] Retired Justice
Florence K. Murray, 87; a pioneer for women in R.I. politics, law. Chief Justice
Frank J. Williams calls her "an inspiration to many -- especially
women," and orders flags at all court facilities to be lowered to
half-staff for 30 days. By Tracy Breton. Journal Staff Writer. Newport --
Florence Kerins Murray, Rhode Island's first female judge, who spent four
decades on the bench -- originally on the state Superior Court, and then as a
justice on the Rhode Island Supreme Court -- died early Sunday morning, at
Newport Hospital, after falling inside her house on Kay Street. She was 87.
Murray, a widow who had lived alone since the death of her husband, Paul F.
Murray, in 1995, died of internal injuries, according to former Rhode Island
Supreme Court administrator John H. Barrette, a close friend of the retired
justice who was at her side when she died. A pioneer in politics and the law,
Murray served as a Democratic state senator from Newport from 1948 to 1956, when
she was sworn in as the state's first female Superior Court judge. She became
the first female chief judge of the Superior Court in 1978, and when she was
elected by the General Assembly to the state Supreme Court in November 1979, she
became the first woman on that bench. Barrette said that Murray had a jam-packed
day on Wednesday. He drove her to two doctors' appointments and to her final
meeting as a board member of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island, and
then to Wal-Mart so she could shop. Barrette and his wife, Kathy, then took
Murray out to dinner at her favorite Newport restaurant, La Forge Casino. But
after Murray retired for the night on Wednesday, she fell in her house, Barrette
said. Barrette said that Murray balked at seeking medical treatment, but that he
and his wife decided Friday night, after bringing Murray a fish dinner at home,
that they would return the next morning and take her to the hospital. When the
Barrettes returned to Murray's home on Saturday morning, they found that she had
fallen for a second time, and could not get up from the floor. A rescue was
called to take her to Newport Hospital, where she died at 3 a.m. Sunday,
Barrette said. Murray "was probably, besides my Mom and wife, one of the
most remarkable women I've ever met," said Barrette, who said he considered
Murray "a surrogate mother." "She was a walking history book
about the courts, Newport, national politics. She knew everyone," said
Barrette. The Newport County Court House was named after her in 1990, and her
stature as a jurist was recognized nationally. From 1980 to 1987, she chaired
the board of directors of the National Judicial College, the country's school
for new judges. Barrette said that last summer, when Murray attended a Blue
Cross board meeting on Cape Cod, former presidential candidate Ross Perot, who
was a featured speaker, greeted her by name. Rhode Island Chief Justice Frank J.
Williams called Murray "an inspiration to many -- especially women. Her
mind was keen until the end and it was altogether fitting and proper that if we
had to lose her, it would be during the month celebrating women." Murray
retired from the state's high court in 1996 but continued to sit on the bench
part-time until a couple of years ago. Her last big case, which she was called
out of retirement to hear, was the state's appeal of a decision by a Superior
Court judge to throw out all the corruption charges against former Gov. Edward
D. DiPrete and his son, Dennis L. DiPrete, because of prosecutorial misconduct.
Justice Murray decided, with the majority of the justices, that dismissal of the
charges was too severe a sanction, and sent the case back to the Superior Court
for trial. (DiPrete ended up pleading guilty to 18 felony charges and served 11
months in prison; his son pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and paid a $1,000
fine.) Governor Carcieri yesterday ordered the flags at all state offices to be
lowered to half-staff through Thursday in Murray's honor. Williams ordered flags
at all court facilities in the state to be lowered to half-staff for 30 days.
Supreme Court Justice Maureen McKenna Goldberg, who took Murray's seat on the
high court upon her retirement, lauded her "for having broken down so many
barriers that were previously closed to women. I believe her greatest
accomplishment is that, before she boldly marched into uncharted territory, she
paused, turned around and beckoned the rest of us to follow." Murray wasn't
the type of person who trumpeted her accomplishments. She described herself as
"Mrs. Vanilla" in a lengthy interview published in The Providence
Sunday Journal in 1997. "I haven't got any special attributes," she
said. "I just do a job as well as I can do it and I seek to keep myself
well-informed about whatever my field of work is." She was known as a judge
who liked to get to the heart of a problem quickly, someone with street smarts,
a feminist before that word was popular, and someone with strong opinions. As a
Supreme Court justice, she would make a painstaking search of a court record to
support what she believed was a just result. "I'm a prober . . . . I'm
tenacious, stubborn but not intractable," said Murray. "I'm inclined
to have a lot of patience and to be a listener.... In the law, I'm an
issue-finder but I also think I'm a solution-finder. "I was a very good
student in law school, and one of the things that saddens me is that my academic
talents get overshadowed by 'the first woman syndrome.' People tend to think
women have minimum academic credentials. They think that the reason I got where
I did was because I was a woman, not because I was smart. "There are a lot
of women who are dumbbells and a lot of men who are buffoons," said Murray.
"If you're going to give the public their due, appoint, elect or hire
someone based on their qualifications, not their gender." Ronald V. Gallo,
president and CEO of The Rhode Island Foundation, where Murray served on the
board, called her "both feisty and generous to the end. Florence was not
shy about expressing her opinions," Gallo said, and "continued to
offer us wise counsel as recently as two weeks ago." Murray, a lifelong
Newport resident, was the daughter of the late John and Florence (MacDonald)
Kerins. A graduate of Newport's Rogers High School and of Syracuse University,
in New York - where she would later serve for many years on the board of
trustees - Murray taught school for a year in a one-room schoolhouse on Prudence
Island before going to law school. She was the only woman in the graduating
class of 1942 at Boston University Law School. She joined the Women's Army Corps
after graduation and was promoted to lieutenant colonel before leaving the
service in 1947. She was the youngest woman to achieve that rank at the time.
Upon leaving the Army, she opened a one-woman law firm above a grocery store on
Thames Street and later practiced law with her now-deceased husband, who went on
to serve as U.S. Attorney for Rhode Island from 1977 to 1981. During Murray's
six years in the Rhode Island Senate, she was the only woman in that chamber.
While there, she sponsored legislation to abolish wage differences based on
gender and for equal pay for teachers throughout the state. She also introduced
a bill making it easier for a parent to get child support if a former spouse
leaves the state, and another that led to the creation of state facilities for
the care and treatment of alcoholics. At the same time as she was a senator,
Murray was also a member of the Newport School Committee. Asked how she broke
the gender barrier to become Rhode Island's first female judge, Murray said:
"I refuse to recognize any gender barriers and considered those who did
ignorant." Upon reflection, Murray said she enjoyed life as a trial judge
better than that as an appellate judge, where "you're only one-fifth of a
judge." She said the hardest part of her job as a judge was that
"sometimes, you have to apply law which does not seem to accomplish
justice." She was a member of the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame, and a
recipient of a Citizen of the Year Award from the Rhode Island Trial Lawyers
Association and a Judge of the Year Award from the National Association of Women
Judges. The American Bar Association honored her in 2002 for pioneering work, in
the late 1950s, that led to the establishment of Rhode Island's Family Court.
She served on numerous judicial and civic boards over the years, among them,
Salve Regina College and Bryant College. She founded the Newport Girls Club. In
her retirement, Murray was appointed by President Clinton to serve on the board
of directors of the State Justice Institute and remained active in National
Judicial College affairs. Murray leaves a son, Paul M. Murray, of Algonquin,
Ill. The funeral will be held in Newport on Friday, at 9 a.m., from the Memorial
Funeral Home, 375 Broadway, with a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in St.
Mary Church. Burial will be private.
