Faye Ruth Murphy

Faye Ruth Murphy, age 88, went to be with the Lord November 9, 2025. She was born to the late Wesley E. and Lucy K. (Callahan) Pruett June 27, 1937, in Richmond, Virginia. Faye is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Lyle Jerome Murphy; and brother, Gary Akers. Faye is survived by children: Greg (Patricia) Murphy, Robin (Mark) Snow, and Michele (Matt) Killion; sisters: Carol Richardson and Mona (Steve) Cunningham; grandchildren: Jennifer (Manuel) Van Broekhunizen, Christopher (Kacey) Murphy, Heather (Jim) Law , Stephanie (Kelly) Eager, Angela Snow, Natalie Snow, Lauren Snow, Emily Killen, and Nicholis Killen, 10 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. 

Faye was a member of the Day Spring Church of Marion. She was a graduate of Claridon High School, and enjoyed spending time with her family; they were always very important to her, "the joy of her life". Some of her hobbies included: quilting, crocheting, going out to the store for some shopping, and in her earlier years camping trips. Faye made sure to attend all her grandkids' sporting events and was the type that would give until it hurt. She will be missed by all that knew her.

There will be services at a later date. Memorials may be made to the local Marion area Humane Society. Moments of remembrance may be left online at www.cremationservicesofohio.com.
