George Alexander Murphy
Nashville - known to family and friends as "Pop", met his Heavenly Father on Father's Day, June 17, 2018.
Pop was a devoted husband to Annabelle for 56 years, a cherished father to George Murphy, Jr. (Kay) and Becky Nickins (Steve). He was an adored grandfather to Alex Murphy (Lessa), Jenni B Buhler (Ty), and Molly Nickins and a proud great-grandfather to Kolbi Katelyn Buhler and Tyson Alexander Buhler (which made him even greater!)
George was born in Nashville, married Anabelle Cantrell in 1946, after serving three years in WWII as a Crew Chief and Flight Engineer in the Army Air Corp. He retired from Safety Service Co.
George served as a deacon and Sunday School teacher at Inglewood Baptist for 50 years and was a 32nd degree Mason. He served the 5th and 6th grade class at IBC for over 50 years.
George was preceded in death by his wife, Annabelle, parents, C. L. and Lavinia Murphy, brothers, Carl L. Murphy, JB Murphy, and sister, Ann Claire Duke.
Pop is best known for his love for the Lord and his ability to make others laugh.
