Mona Murphy 1942 – 2026 Mona Murphy, born in 1942, passed from this world in 2026 at the age of 83. To those who knew her, she was simply Grandma, and that role was one she carried with a fullness that touched every corner of family life. Mona had a way of making people feel at home, the kind of woman whose presence quietly held things together. Grandmothers like her are rarely fully appreciated until they are gone, and the space she leaves behind is one that cannot be filled. Her grandchildren will carry her forward, in small gestures and warm memories, in the values she passed along without ever needing to announce them. That is the quiet legacy of a woman who gave her love steadily and without condition. There are no perfect words for a loss like this. Grief is simply the other side of love, and the depth of what Mona's family feels now speaks to how richly she lived and how generously she gave of herself. Mona Murphy is survived by a family that loved her dearly and will hold her close for as long as memory allows. She will not be forgotten.
