Elizabeth Anne Murphy, a woman of deep faith, unwavering strength, and a heart overflowing with generosity, passed away on February 22, 2025 at the age of 74. Though life was not always easy for her, she faced every challenge with resilience and grace, trusting in God’s plan and finding strength in her faith.

She found joy in the kitchen, where she poured love into every meal, ensuring that no one ever left her table hungry. Her cooking was more than just food; it was an expression of love, hospitality, and care, a reflection of the warmth in her heart.

More than anything, Elizabeth was generous beyond measure. She gave what she had freely—her time, her love and her unshakable support. She lived by the words of her faith, always believing in the power of kindness, prayer, and helping those in need. Her trust in God carried her through even the hardest times.

She leaves behind a family who adored her- three daughters: Paula Avigliano, Christina Kennedy (Jeff), and Cheryl Anne Krebaum (Howard), five grandchildren: Elizabeth Kennedy, Mara Krebaum, Joseph Krebaum, Jaina Krebaum and Christian Avigliano; nieces Andrea Romano (Anthony) and Gina Pope (Anthony), nephew Keith Rosser (Helen), sister in law Judith Arnold (Bobby) and cousin Rose Rinaldi and a legacy of love, and countless cherished memories. Though our hearts are heavy, we find peace knowing that she is now at rest in the arms of her Savior, reunited with loved ones who have gone before her. She is preceded in death by her parents Wesley and Anna Louise Arnold, her sister Deborah Arnold, her brother Wesley Arnold, and her nephew David Arnold.

A service to honor her life will be held on Friday, February 28, 2025 at 2:00pm.

Rest in peace, Mom. Your faith, love, and kindness will live on forever in our hearts.

    Words can not express how thankful I am
    to you. As a child you showed me the love of a mother. Whenever I was in your home you cared for me, and get me always. I will always remember sharing cookies and coffee. Thank you for those memories.
