Andrew Joseph Murphy
After a sudden and brief illness, Andy left this world on June 10th, 2019 surrounded by those he loved at the age of 67. He leaves with wonderful memories his wife of 45 years Margie, their children, Corey, Kerry (Brad) and Brent (Erin) and his two grandsons Michael and Drew that he adored. His siblings Arnold (Anne), Gerry (Lorraine), Roy (Jeannie), Ted (Patrina), Ray, Alex (Tammy), Mary (Tom), Betty Anne (Mark), Georgina and Lori; many nephews and nieces, and too many friends to name who will forever remember him for his kind and funny spirit. His cat Hussy will miss him as much as anyone.
Andy put family first and it showed in the relationship that he had with Margie. They were kindred spirits that were born to be together. After so many years he still called her his little darling. If you were fortunate to spend time with two of them together, you walked away knowing you just experienced what true love looks like. They have an indescribable love.
He was a hero to his children and grandsons. He worked hard for everything he had to raise three amazing kids who are the perfect mix of him and Margie. He talked to his kids every day because it mattered to him. They would do anything for their parents and always came home to visit. Everyone is welcomed at their home. These are the things that made him proud.
Andy was born on Crawley’s Island, grew up in the Cove (Mount Arlington Heights) and settled in the Bottom (Long Harbour) and that was as far away as he wanted to be from the ocean, the Trout Ponds and the Berry Hills. With the exception of one special trip to Calgary to surprise Kerry, and Saturday trips to Normans Cove with Roe to play poker with the boys, or a trip to Indian Harbour, he never cared for being away.
After his family, Andy loved nature best. He knew and respected the land and water around him as well the wildlife knew and respected him. He fished his favorite spots between Henry’s Hole and Dan’s Ledge, trouted in the ponds and rivers, picked wild raspberries, bakeapples, blueberries and partridge berries, and hunted moose, birds and rabbits as the seasons allowed. His catch of the day was shared with family, friends and especially the seniors of the community. He never wanted more than he needed and took great joy in giving a meal of some sort to anyone who would appreciate it. He gave back to nature in abundance, he fed the crows every day with table scraps, had an eagle that waited for him on the point of the island as he knew there would be fish for him, delivered herring to Aunt Gladys to feed her pet gull, and had a wild loon that comes back every year to feed her babies with trout she takes from Andy’s hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDHyL-Y962o
Andy had a gentleness that animals and children could recognize. He shared his love of the outdoors with every little kid who ever wanted to learn to fish. He had a special secret with all the little ones in his family, the “money rock” was a hike in the woods and a hiding place for coins that was a special event when you found out about it. His infectious spirit for fun and enjoyment has touched many generations. If you spent time with Andy, you always left feeling like you were someone special.
He knew what he liked and wasn’t one to compromise. He was honest to a fault and always spoke his truth even when his opinion wasn’t shared by others. He liked his toast done only on one side, homemade jam prepared by Margie, and lots of ice in his drink. He loved a game of crib, or just about any card game. He often joked about his poor carpentry skills but he could repair just about anything with a fish hook or a swivel. Andy’s spirit will live on forever but his presence will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to really know him. In honouring Andy’s wishes, there will not be a funeral. Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be scheduled for later in the summer and then his ashes will be spread at sea where he will surely be at peace.
For those that wish to pay respect to his memory, do a kindness for someone else, clean up a piece of garbage off the beach, teach a child about the importance of nature or pet an animal in his name. Remember him in happy memories and stories and talk about the impact he made.

Mom loved flowers . Flowers gratefully accepted or donations may be made to a Charity of Ones Choice.

This extraordinary woman who now sits with the angels went by many, many names:

-Mary Catherine by her beloved mother and father -Kit/Kitty by her loving husband of 60 years -Grandma/ grandmother / nan by 31 children -Great-grandma by 42 children -Great-great grandma by 12 children -Aunt Catherine by countless nieces and nephews -Sister by 9 brothers and sisters, And most endearingly called MOM by 13 very grateful and now heartbroken children who say goodbye to her today.

Mom was a woman devoted to her home and her family. So much so that when she was a young girl and moved away to St. John’s to go to work for the first time, she cried for a whole month. She felt so lonely and miserable without her family that she came back home to help her mother to take care of the house and to care for her younger siblings.

When she had her own family and moved down to the bottom from Kings Point she spent many hours visiting her mother. We all as children remember the many visits to grandmother’s house.

Life was very hard in the 40s and 50s in NL raising a large family meant hard work and long hours with little or no money. Mom and Dad made do with what they had and not one of us 13 children ever felt in need or want for anything. We didn’t ever feel poor and all remember wonderful childhoods.

Mom was a very strong woman. Although she probably wouldn’t agree with that, she was able to overcome some very difficult times and still able to keep her sense of humor and sharp wit.

The loss of dad her partner for almost 60 years was devastating for her. We were all very worried that it would be the end of her as well, but she struggled on and even though she missed him right up to her last days, she kept going. I used to call her a tough old bird, she would just smile and say “yes girl, well what else can you do”!

The loss of three of her children was a huge blow. First Lucy, then Rita and then Gerry (Sach) who was her comfort in the years after dad’s death, really slowed her down. She was now in her late 80s and had to try and live alone.

Not in the best of health yet she summoned her strength once again and made the decision to live by herself in her own home for as long as she could. We as a family were worried about her being alone but there was no changing her mind when she decided. (maybe a little bit of stubborn in there). Another devastating blow came in 2016 with the loss of her first-born son, Jim. Still she soldiered on!

She stayed by herself for as long as her health allowed until it was time to have extra help during the day and some home care was arranged to help her with her daily chores. It was very hard for her to sit aside and have someone else do her housework and cooking. Many a time she would just get up and lend a hand. She always made the dough balls and pudding for the many Sunday dinners we all had together. There was no keeping her down.

Though her body was failing her mind was sharp. She loved to play Scat with the family and almost every Saturday night when we all got together we played with her. She won many a game and beat us all. She loved her puzzle books and her knitting. When her fingers go to sore from gout and arthritis she had to teach herself how to knit using a different way, but she never gave up. When her eyes got tired from reading the puzzle books she would knit and if her hands got sore from knitting she would go back to the books. Again, tough old bird, I say!!

We all felt the love she had for each and every one of us. There was never a visit without a hug and kiss and “I love you” and of course “good night and God bless you” if you called in the evening.

A warm, loving, tough, strong, witty, woman who raised 13 grateful children in very tough times, who traveled only twice outside this province, had only a book 5 education, leaves a wonderful legacy to the world.

She bore 13 children who gave her grandchildren and great, great grandchildren. Children who have travelled the world, studied and have jobs that protect our society and yet more children to come who will do God knows what to help this world and make a difference. One woman from a small harbour in NL born in 1922 has had an immense effect on the world and through her descendants she will continue to do so long after she is gone.

She will be remembered for the love she gave, the strength she gave us, the memories that we have, the life that we have. A part of her will go on with all of us. She will never be forgotten.
