When One Gift Rewards Many Others

Jim Murray believed deeply in the value of a TVS education. He and his wife, Suzie, created a planned gift by naming TVS as beneficiary of a charitable trust.

The late Jim Murray had a deep passion for Trinity Valley School. He and his wife, Suzie, were TVS parents. Their daughter, Kathleen, graduated in the Class of 1980. While they had only one child, they contributed to the education of many others through their generous gifts. Kathleen feels that Trinity Valley School was one of the best decisions they ever made.

Jim was a former trustee of TVS and a member of the Stephen Seleny Society. He spent his career in Fort Worth banking and was a founder of Summit National Bank, now Frost Bank. Suzie was a community volunteer and former president of The Jewel Charity Ball. Kathleen is a physician practicing in Nashville, Tennessee.

Jim and Suzie made provisions in their estate for TVS to be beneficiary of a charitable trust. Jim wrote when he joined the Stephen Seleny Society, "We choose to make a gift from our estate because Stephen Seleny and the faculty convinced our daughter and many other students that they could achieve lofty goals if they applied themselves. And they did and they have."

May others have the opportunity that Kathleen and other Trojans did.
