Obituary for Joyce Felicia Murphy
Joyce Felicia Murphy was called home January 16th, 2018. She was born December 29th 1939 in Washington D.C to the late Herman Crabbe and Helen Payne.
She attended Luther Jackson High School in Falls Church, VA. August 29th, 1990 she joined Yeshua Church of God in Christ under the leadership of Pastor Tony H. Campbell. She served the church faithfully and was head of the Mother’s Board.
Joyce was a devoted wife to Herbert Murphy for 59 years and from this union 7 children were born. She was then blessed with 22 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
Mom was a lady of grace, a lady of great faith. Her kindness and love spread far and she would open her arms and heart to anyone that needed her. She had a way of making you feel as though everything was alright when you thought it was all falling apart. Her compassion, wisdom and knowledge were endless and she gave of them freely. What she enjoyed most was spending time with family, especially her grand and great grandkids, they brought her so much joy…all 37 of them. She was truly a blessed woman and in turn, many were blessed by her.
