In Loving Memory of Barbara Lee Redden Murphy
Celebrating a Life of Faith, Service, and Compassion
With deep sorrow and gratitude, we announce the passing of Barbara Lee Redden Murphy, who died peacefully in her sleep on February 28, 2026, at the age of 94, in Palm Coast, Florida. Born in Miami, Florida, in 1931, Barbara lived a life marked by faith, generosity, and a deep commitment to serving others. She was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald Murphy; her daughter, Gerrilee Murphy; and her parents.
Barbara is survived by her three sons, their married partners, and their families: Hugh of Connecticut, Daniel of Texas, and Todd of Florida, along with two grandchildren and one great grandchild. She is also survived by extended family members, friends, and a wider community who will remember her with affection and respect.
Barbara lived most of her life in Daytona Beach and Ormond Beach, Florida, where she raised her family and remained active in her church and community. In later years, she resided at Holly Hill’s Bishops Glen retirement community, where she enjoyed extended friendships and continued her church involvement. For the past eighteen months, Barbara enjoyed living at HarborChase Assisted Living in Palm Coast, where she was known for her warmth and was well regarded by both residents and staff.
Her faith guided her life and shaped her commitment to serving others. Throughout her life, Barbara traveled extensively and embraced new cultures. Together with her late husband, she helped establish medication distribution networks throughout Guatemala, reflecting her belief in living her faith through action.
Barbara will be remembered for her kindness, quiet strength, and unwavering compassion. She will be deeply missed by her family, her church community, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
