Barbara Murphy, (nee Stokosinski), age 81, passed away peacefully with her family by her side. She was born on February 3, 1945 and entered eternal life on October 27, 2026.

Barbara was the beloved wife of Tom for nearly 60 years.

Barbara was not only a wonderful wife, mom, and grandma, but also an amazing nurse. She cared deeply for her patients and always treated them with kindness, dignity, and compassion.

Her love for her family, her caring nature, and the special memories she created with those she loved will never be forgotten. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
