Jack Murphy

A “Celebration of Life” service for Mr. Jack Lee Murphy, 83, of Anniston, will be Sunday, February 28, 2021, at 3:00PM at Edgewood Congregational Methodist Church with Dr. Bill Snow officiating. The family will receive friends on Sunday, one hour prior to the service.

Mr. Murphy is survived by his sons, Chris Murphy (Melanie) and Greg Murphy (Robin); brothers, Tom Murphy and John Murphy; grandchildren, Dalton Murphy (Savannah), Kimberly McFarland (Brent), Christian “CJ” Murphy, and Julianna Murphy; and his close friend Shirley Heifner.

Mr. Murphy is preceded in death by his wife, Bettye Murphy; parents, Dee and Ada Alice Murphy; sisters, Joy Rice, Bonnie Day and Phyllis Brumbaugh.

He served his country in the US Air Force from 1956 to 1960 and retired as the Assistant Fire Chief at the Fort McClellan Fire Department. He was an active member of Edgewood Congregational Methodist Church, distributed Bibles for Gideon’s International; volunteered for Meals on Wheels; worked with the United Methodist Bridge Ministry for the Homeless; and was certified by the Alabama Public Health as a Nursing Home Observer.

To all that knew him he will be remembered as a true servant of Christ, whom was always willing to assist anyone in need. Some of his family’s fondest memories include seeing him every morning in his recliner studying the Word of God. He loved the Lord and the Lord’s Church and was devoted to serving his family, fellow church members, neighbors and friends.
