My wife and I met Grace late in life, we found her to be a friend that we felt we could have known all our lives. She was joy to be around and we have enjoyed "Murphy" events with her family and meals we shared together.
My prayers go out to family and Grace with heartfelt thanks for knowing her. and I am sure I can add my wife "Phyllis"
We're very sorry to hear of her passing. Grace Murphy moved up here starting another phase of an amazing life that she has had. Our thoughts are with the Murphys and we hope the cherished memories will help now and forever.

From the very beginning of my relationship with Casey, Grace Murphy treated me like her own granddaughter. I loved her very much and miss her dearly. She was the smartest woman I have ever known and I always loved our long talks. My daughter Lilly is her 13th great grandchild and every time we went to visit in the hospital she would introduce Lilly to the nurses as lucky number 13. I'm glad that my daughter got to spend the first 2 years of her life with her great grandma so near. I will cherish those pictures and memories always.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Grace was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, What a strong woman she was to have raised six children and then lived to be 91 years old. I know she will be missed. She is in the light now! Toni Draper
