Mrs. Murphy was born on February 14, 1925 in Hebert, LA to the union of

Earth and have now been reunited to spend eternity together worshiping the 
Lord. She was also greeted by her parents and sister, Louise Maxwell.

Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Roger Murphy and wife, Kay of 
Hebert; two daughters: Linda Owens of Hebert and Pam Murphy of Monroe; 
grandchildren: Lori Owens, Chuck Owens, Lane Owens, Gale Owens, Jonathan 
Murphy, Amy Whitecotton and Leah LaCaze; thirteen great-grandchildren with 
another to arrive shortly; seven great-great-grandchildren and numerous nieces 
and nephews.

Brandin Owens and Holden Owens. Honorary pallbearers will be Ryan Murphy, 
Hayden Owens, Todd Whitecotton, Pierre LaCaze, Allen Maxwell, Louis Rogers, 
Clint Owens, Chuck Owens and Lane Owens.

Any planned memorials may be made to the Duchesne Cemetery, c/o Citizens

The family would like to thank the faculty and staff, especially Debbie Dale, 
at Haven Nursing Center for their love, care, and consideration given to Leona 
during her stay there.
