Donna Murphy, 86, of Marion passed away Tuesday February 2, 2021 at Willow Gardens Care Center in Marion.  There will not be services at this time.  A memorial fund has been established.

Donna adored her grandchildren.  She spent countless hours going shopping and out to eat with them.  They were her pride and joy.  Donna loved her job at St. Luke’s and not only cared for the patient’s physical needs, she held their hands and cared for them with her heart and soul.  She loved her Lord Jesus Christ and is now held up high in all his glory.  Donna will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
