Susan Murphy

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Susan D. Murphy, who left us on October 4, 2026, at the age of 67. Born on March 12, 1959, in Anderson, Indiana, Susan was the beloved daughter of Harry S. and Phyllis (Lemond) Murphy. She grew up in Anderson and was a proud graduate of Madison Heights High School and Indiana University.

For many years, Susan worked as an investigator for General Motors and Eli Lilly, where she used her keen mind and attention to detail to make a difference. Beyond her career, she had a passion for life that was contagious-whether it was boating on a sunny day, getting her hands dirty in the garden, or showcasing her creative talents through crafts. Susan was known for her great sense of humor and her knack for cooking delicious meals that always brought people together. Susan was also an animal advocate, especially beagles. She dearly loved her beagles, George and Gracie.

Halloween was a special time for Susan, and she loved to play pranks that kept everyone on their toes. Family meant the world to her, and she cherished every moment spent with her brother, Dan "Carol" Murphy of Alexandria, her nephew Bryan Murphy of Fortville, and her niece Samantha Murphy of Portland, Maine as well as her cousin, Linda Watson of Daleville, and numerous other relatives.

Susan's spirit and laughter will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

In light of this, the public will be able to pay their respects during a viewing on October 7, 2026, starting at 12:00 PM at Bozell Funeral Homes and Crematory, Brown-Butz-Diedring Chapel, 515 E. 53rd Street, Anderson, Indiana. A funeral service will follow at 1:00 PM on the same day with Pastor Ned Clark officiating. Susan will then be laid to rest at Anderson Memorial Park Cemetery.

The family would like to thank Guardian's Advocates for their care of Susan.
