Marilyn Murphy
April 17, 1945 — November 22, 2018
Marilyn Murphy, age 73, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Thursday, November 22, 2018, at a Sioux City hospital.
On April 17, 1945 Marilyn began her life as a loving daughter to John Patrick and Anne Lee (Livermore) Murphy. Along with her parents, she was welcomed by her sisters Barb Matz and Judy Welte. Later Marilyn would be part of receiving their sister Sherry Mackey. The girls shared a zest for life that could be felt through laughter and smiles for decades.
A lifelong resident of Sioux City, Marilyn was a devoted mother to her four children. The children were the light of her life. All would learn that her light shined even brighter when her 7 grandchildren made their entrances to the world. Each had a unique and special relationship with her. Marilyn was an amazing mother and exceptional grandmother.
Ms. Murphy had the ability to make others she met feel and know they were part of her family. Along with her courteous grace, Marilyn was also known for her quick wit, pranks and jokes as she worked tirelessly so all would feel safe and warm while employed at St. Lukes Emergency and Surgery Departments for several years.
Marilyn’s memory will be cherished by her children, Darcy (Troy) Bertram, Cami Clausen, Sean (Shellie) Aspleaf, Durinda (Bob Gunderson) Aspleaf: her grandchildren, Max Clausen, Trey Bertram, Meredith (Stephen) Cowperthwait, Spencer Aspleaf, Kennedy Bertram, Carter Feathers, Brady Bertram; later welcoming Austin and Dyllan Gunderson; great grandchild Anne Marie Cowperthwait; sisters Judy Welte and Sherry Mackey: nieces and nephews; extended family; her beloved grand-dogs; neighbor and confidant, Ilene Foister.
Ms. Murphy’s wishes will be honored to spend eternal life with her children. With a strong faith in god, please remember her through music in the songs, Raise me Up and I Can Only Imagine. Fondly think of her each St. Patrick’s Day. A Celebration of Marilyn’s life will be held at a later date.
Condolences can be made to Meyers Brothers Funeral Home, 3220 Stone Park Blvd. Sioux City, IA 51104 or on the website at www.meyerbroschapels.com.
