It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Nancy Murphy, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Georgia Ruth “Nancy” Murphy, a long-time resident of Cranbrook, BC, passed peacefully at the age of 85 on May 31, 2025 surrounded by her family.

Nancy was a devoted wife to her late husband Gordon Murphy, with whom she shared an inseparable bond for 62 wonderful years. Alongside her husband, Nancy built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished family memories. She was a proud mother to her five children: Kevin Murphy (husband Kevin Marks), Krista Levisay (husband Benjamin Levisay), David Murphy (partner Jeff Fraser), and Scott Murphy (wife Mika Murphy).

She was predeceased by her son, Bradley Murphy (wife Dena Murphy), and husband Gordon Murphy whose memories remain forever in the our hearts.

Nancy’s legacy lives on through her three beloved grandchildren, Samantha, Christopher (Alexandria), and Gabriel, who brought great joy to her life and her Great Grandchildren Estella and Aurora. She leaves behind her two sisters Beth Taylor (Cranbrook B.C.) and Judy MacArther (New Brunswick) and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family moved to Calgary, Alberta, where she found her love of the arts. She moved with her family to Cranbrook, BC. in 1981, supporting her husband in the funeral industry.

The family would like to thank the Health Care professionals working at the East Kootenay Hospital, and the Pines (Kimberly Special Care Home). Their kindness was a blessing.
