Murphy,
Judith "Judy" Lynn, age 53,
of the Hardin Valley Community in Knox County, TN, went home to be with the
Lord on March 2, 2004 at Parkwest Hospital while she was surrounded by her
family. She battled a terminal illness for over 25 years, yet, despite the
pain and inconvenience it caused, she always maintained a positive attitude
and love for life, Jesus and her family to the very end. She also never
allowed her condition to interfere with taking care of her family, or even
strangers. She was truly a model of love, faith and hope. Judy was born in
Ashland, Kentucky on October 26, 1950. On September 18, 1971 she married her
best friend and the love of her life, Bill Murphy, Jr. In 1973 and 1975, she
gave birth to her two sons, Jason and Josh, respectfully. When her sons
married in 1999 and 2000, she acquired the two daughters, Amy and Missy,
which she always wanted. Finally, on November 1, 2002, she obtained her most
favorite title, grandmother, when Parker Matthew Murphy was born. Second
only to her love of Jesus and her family, Judy loved the symphony. She also
loved UT athletics and attended various sporting events whenever she was
able. She was an active member of Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church, WIC,
and various other organizations. Judy was preceded in death by her
grandparents. She is survived by her husband, Bill Murphy, Jr.; her
children, Jason Murphy and wife, Missy and Joshua Murphy and wife, Amy; her
grandson, Parker Matthew Murphy; her parents, Tom and Pauline Hunt; her
