Phyllis Murphey, cherished mother and grandmother, and longtime resident of Colorado

Phyllis enjoyed riding horses, country music, square dancing, and spending time with family and

friends. She was known for being the “glue” of her family, had a giving spirit, always wanting to

help anyone in need, a kind heart, and an infectious smile. She had a longtime career at ITU

and developed many longtime friendships in her time there. She had an incredible love for

animals, particularly her favorite pup, Annie. She donated to the humane society and other

animal shelters.

She was loved beyond words and will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
