Mary MURPHY Obituary

Dear Eamonn, Trish and Kevin, and wider family, as Linda´s lifetime friend it´s been a privilege to get to know you Eamonn, and through the Catholic community you, Trish and Kevin, and most recently your daughter Brigid. I know you will all miss you dear Mum and Nana, but I hope you will find consolation knowing she is at peace and her spirit lives on! Blessings on all of you.
Arohanui Christina and Rob and the Powell-Reymer family.

I remember Mary for her great laugh, encouraging words, a genuine interest in others, and being a great friend of our mother.
RIP Mary-a life well lived.

Rest in Peace Mary. I never met you but I have family connections to the Murphy family. I believe my late mum is related to 'Aunty Bubs' Murphy. We lived in a house on their farm in Taupiri (or was it the Lovell farm?) for a few years, I started school there in 1949 and knew younger brother Terry well. I can't recall Bubs' husband's name but he had ongoing problems with sight and was a pioneer with cornea transplants, which enabled him to see clearly for a while, until they succumed to the issue he had with rejection. Mary's passing has brought back a flood of memories of my time in Taupiri.

May you rest in eternal peace Mrs Murphy, what a blessing you have been to our lives, your friendship and care was truely special, we will miss you and are so glad the boys shared special time with you in February , love to all your family near and far , Katie, John, Liam and James Nottingham, UK

"Rest in peace, Aunty Mary. May you be reunited in the loving arms of family who have gone before you, especially Uncle Neville."

"Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam." May her soul be at the right hand of God.
