Beatrice C. Murphy age 74 of Riverdale died Friday, January 11, 2013, peacefully with the comfort of her family by her side.
The daughter of the late Michael and Mary Ann Gugel, she was born in Jersey City and raised in Secaucus having graduated from Saint Michael's High School in Union City with the Class of 1956. She lived in Wayne Township for over forty years before moving to Riverdale seven years ago.
She met her husband George J. Murphy on a blind date setup by family friends Joan and Joe Cirone. They married on November 24, 1956 and honeymooned in Virginia Beach, VA. They had forty-six years together having proudly raised three daughters Eileen, Linda and Mary Ellen.
When her children were older she took a job with the Wayne Board of Education in the cafeteria at Wayne Valley High School. She worked in the cafeteria for thirty-five years having retired as the cafeteria manager.
Bea was an excellent cook and her special loving touch on sausage bread and her homemade pasta sauce will be greatly missed. She loved to travel, having been to Alaska, Ireland, and Hawaii, and had fond memories of her many trips with the Valley and Riverdale Seniors. She will be remembered as being fun loving, witty, and outgoing.
She was extremely dedicated to her Catholic faith and was a parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation RC Church in Wayne.
Beatrice was the devoted wife of the late George J. Murphy(2002); she was the loving mother of Eileen Murphy-Hoffmann and her husband Mark of Glenmoore, PA, Linda Hratko and her husband Matthew of Colonia, and Mary Ellen Murphy-Strohmeyer and her husband William of Wayne; cherished grandmother of Matthew, Megan, Andrew, Brian, Kathryn, and Michael; dear sister of Donald Robinson and his wife Anne of Dover, and the late Ken, Frank, Patricia, Ann, and Rosemary; dear sister-in-law of Arthur Murphy and his wife Lynne of Mine Hill.
She was the daughter of the late Michael and Mary Ann Gugel.
