Betty Carolyn Murphy was born on January 1, 1938, in Middlesboro, Kentucky, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Delbert and Edith (Lemar) Scott Sr. She was a faithful and active member of Glennie United Methodist Church and the Fraternal Order of Eagles for many years. She was also involved in MUCC and enjoyed camping, fishing, and hunting with her family and friends. She loved spending time with her family, every chance she could. She valued family dinners, especially those that brought several generations around the table. She could usually be found with a wordsearch on her lap or working on her latest puzzle, sometimes even with a little help from her great grandchildren. Unless it was baseball season, then she was busy cheering on her Tigers. Her warm and welcoming heart will be missed by all.

Betty is survived by her daughter, Marianne (Mike) Barnett, her stepchildren, Chuck Murphy Jr., and Charlotte Murphy, her brother, Joe Scott, several grandchildren and great grandchildren, her sister-in-law Dorothy Seni and several nieces and nephews.

Betty is preceded in death by her husband, Chuck Murphy Sr., her children, Diane Collins, Michael Kondrath, James Kondrath, and Daniel Kondrath, her granddaughters Rachel Kondrath and Heather Barnett, her grandson Bill Collins, her brother, and her sister.
