"Ma" Murray "... was an American-Canadian newspaper editor, publisher, and columnist, an officer of the Order of Canada ... Her sharp tongue was legendary but her office was known for having an open door to any who dropped by, and she was a relentless self-promoter and Lillooet-booster and a devoted newspaperwoman to the bitter end. Also not likely to back down from a verbal fight." wiki.
