To the Family of Sister Betty Murphy Council, "May the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God, our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you." 2 Thessalonians 21:3-4, NIV

Ninety-seven years the Lord has led Mrs. Betty Murphy Council down the golden journey of life, guarding, guiding, and upholding her.

We offer our deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved Mother. Life is a journey filled with smiles, tears, and memories. While smiles may fade and tears may dry, the memories we create last forever. When our earthly circle is broken, we do not learn to live without them; rather, we learn to live with and appreciate the love and legacy they have left us.

As the months and years pass, may you find peace in the beautiful memories you created as a family. We believe that God will meet your every need, provide grace in your moments of weakness, and grant you the strength to endure.

May God bless each and everyone of you. May he keep you all uplifted with the wonderful memories that you have shared over the years. I worked with Miss Betty in my much younger years and never forgot her kindness and work ethic. She was always an example of what a nurse and a true leader should be. God Bless you all. Susie Luke

Grandma Betty was not my biological grandmother, but she carried the title with so much love and pride. She welcomed me and my family with open arms at a young age, and that love continued throughout the entire family over the years. I am truly grateful to have experienced such a beautiful soul and thankful to the family for sharing her with us. Her kindness and love impacted our lives then and continue to do so today. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time as you celebrate her life in true Grandma Betty fashion.
