Guy Edward Murphy, 81, of the Spring Garden community, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, June 9th, 2021. Ed enjoyed spending time with his family, going to country music concerts with his wife and friends and was also a great cook. He loved to watch his grandchildren play sports and was always there to cheer them on. Ed was a longtime member of Spring Garden Baptist Church and felt that his church friends were an extension of his family. He never met a stranger and could always strike up a conversation with anyone.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Guy and Allene Murphy; his wife, Nettie "Pug" Murphy; and brother-in-law, Conley Morgan.
He is survived by his loving family, which includes two daughters, Kim Gaskins and Karen White; four grandchildren, Guy White, Kyle White, Katherine Gaskins and Paige White; two sisters, Lois Grenier (Thomas) and Carolyn Morgan; and one brother, J.K. Murphy (Margaret).
The family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 19th at the Family Life Center of Spring Garden Baptist Church. The service will follow at 3:00 p.m. in the church with Pastor David McAnelly officiating. He will be laid to rest with his dear wife at Greenleaf Memorial Park at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial contributions be made in his name to Spring Garden Baptist Church.
Arrangements are in the care of Cotten Funeral Home & Crematory.
