Barbara A Murphy

Barbara Ann Murphy, 69, of Port Huron, died, peacefully but very unexpectedly on Wednesday, July 19, 2017.

She was born June 21, 1948 in Detroit to the late Raymond and Effie Simpson. She married Harvey Murphy on November 26, 1983 in St. Clair Shores. He died February 13, 2009.

She will be fondly remembered as the den mother at the annual Shoe-N-Brew Family & Friends Reunion which just celebrated its 21st anniversary. She was a very caring and selfless person who thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.

She is survived by three children, Nancy (Gerry) Malta, Kenneth Serio and Scott (Elizabeth) Serio; four grandchildren, Emma and Evan Serio, Mario and Isabella Malta; a brother, Robert (Patricia) Simpson; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sister, Phyllis Schreiner.
