Connie Jean Murphy

McMinnville, TN resident and Bledsoe County native, Connie Jean Murphy, age 68, was born August 13, 1956 and died January 15, 2025 at Willow Branch Health and Rehabilitation following an extended illness.

A homemaker and member of Spirit of Life and Hope Church, she was the daughter of the late Robert John and Beulah Walker Narramore. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by brother, Jackie Narramore.

Mrs. Murphy was married March 2, 1974 to James Terry Murphy of McMinnville who survives. In addition to her husband, she is survived by children, Robbie Murphy, T.J. Murphy and Jill Murphy all of McMinnville; grandchildren, Jem Murphy, Jon Murphy, Haley Murphy, R.J.

Mrs. Connie J. Murphy was a kind and loving wife, mother, daughter and sister. If you were around her any length of time, you were now considered family. She never met a stranger and always treated others with the love of Jesus. 

She loved crocheting and other crafts, visiting the Smokies, and enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. She enjoyed long drives with her husband, James Terry. She loved cooking big meals for family and friends and always had an extra plate for anyone who wanted to drop by. She always had a way of making people feel welcome and special. 

A firm Believer, she walked the walk. She didn't just talk about her faith. We all know beyond a shadow of a doubt: she is with Jesus. 

May she always shine in our hearts. Amen. 

Per her wishes, Mrs. Murphy will be cremated. There will be no service or visitation at High’s.
