Doris Murphy Obituary
A lifelong resident of Scranton, daughter of the late Joseph and Margaret Marshall Te'Ketch, she was a devoted parishioner of Hickory Street Presbyterian Church. Her lifelong passion of physical fitness and scuba diving led her to become the owner and president of PDIC, an international Scuba instruction certification entity. She was also a past director of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton YMCA for several years. Her career afforded her many travel expeditions, which she enjoyed to the fullest.
Doris was also preceded in death her son, Keith "Mel" Murphy; brothers, James and Joseph Te'Ketch; and dear sister, Helen Jean Te'Ketch Kurjeski.
A private graveside service will be held at Fairview Memorial Park, Elmhurst, at the convenience of the family. Arrangements are by the Frank M. Regan Funeral Home, Scranton.

My sincere condolences to your family with the loss of such a great lady. Doris taught me to scuba dive and I became a PDIC instructor trainer and the technical diving director for the agency. I'd like to nominate Doris for the Women Diver's Hall of Fame. My best to your family during this time of mourning.
