Marilyn Kay Murphy

April 28, 2018

Our beloved Marilyn passed away April 28, 2018 in Airdrie. Her memory will always be treasured by her devoted daughter Katie Churton (Tim), grand-daughter Tiffany, sisters Carole Nelson (Lawrence) and Lynne Tilley (Jim), and nephews Gary and Dave Nelson. She was predeceased by her husband John Murphy and grand-daughter Ally.

Marilyn was a super wife and mother, a very doting granny, an excellent nurse, the most "fun and crazy" aunt, an always-there-for-you sister and a very independent, amazingly brave person. We will always remember her laughter, her nutty jokes, her loving compassion and her ability to get in and out of the weirdest scrapes. She was special, unique and inspirational. We will really miss her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, May 7 at the Crossfield Community Centre, 900 Mountain Ave., Crossfield, AB at 11 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Marilyn's name to Heart Beats Children's Society of Calgary at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/heart-beats-childrens-society-of-calgary/
