Jacqueline Murphy, “Miss Jackie” passed away at her home on Friday night, 
September 16, 2016, at the age of 83. 

She was born in Sissonville, West Virginia, raised in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky 
and resided in Sun, Louisiana for the last 50 years. 

After graduation from the University of Kentucky, she was a devoted educator 
working in public and private schools in four states, before her retirement in 
2015. 
She was an accomplished pianist and musical director, affiliated with several 
area churches. 
Beginning in college, she performed as a vocalist with different groups. 

Her first local area group was The Sun Trio, which formed in the late 1960’s. 
The three women were requested at gospel events and singings during the 1960’s 
and 1970’s. 
She taught music lessons for years, and enjoyed performing with Joyce Lejeune. 

A truly strong southern lady, fighting to the end, she defied all odds, 
surprised all medical professionals, living sixteen months after an epic heart 
attack and two hospitalizations for life threatening infections. 

She rallied for her family, proving that love in the heart, the will to live, 
and faith in God conquers all. 

She will be remembered for the love she had for all children, her willingness 
to help all, and her spunky spirit. 

She was the devoted mother of Cindy Murphy, Julie Young and Rollenda Young. 
Sister of the late Joan Amburgey. Loving Grandmother of Amy, Kerri, Coty, and 
the late Crystal. Great Grandmother of Shane, Gage, Jacob, Mathew, Lucas and 
Aubrey. Aunt of Jeff, Marc, and Poochie Amburgey.
