Darrin Murdoch Obituary
Darrin Marie Murdoch
Darrin Marie Murdoch, 60, was born on July 24, 1960 to William and Dawn (Madler) Murdoch in Worland, WY. She was the first born but was soon followed by brothers Will and Paul. She relished her role as big sister and took on the same part to those she loved. In her 40's Darrin went back to school and discovered her true passion in life which was to be a special education teacher. She loved the children that she taught very much and took many worries home with her about their lives, when away from school. Food was stored at school and other supplies so that she knew all of the kids were being taken care of. She received the Gold Star Teacher Award in 2016, the BNSF Distinguished Educator Award in 2018, and was nominated for the Golden Apple Award in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, and in 2020 by her colleagues and students as an exceptional and dedicated teacher.
Preceding her in death was her father, William Barclay; brothers, William Ralph Murdoch and Paul Murdoch. She is survived by her mother, Dawn; nephews, Preston and Nicholas and sisters-in-law, Barbie and Claudine.
A memorial service was held 10 a.m., Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2020 at the Atwood Family Chapel in Greybull.

We are so sad to learn about her passing. She was a great teacher, she loved my kids and my kids loved her. She helped my kids and my niece so much in school. I don't think she truly knew how much she helped them. Rest in peace Mrs. Murdoch; love love you and will miss you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Darrin and I worked together at Rose Park school, sharing many long hours in SPED meetings as well as many laughs and a few glasses of wine. I loved being around her, as did all the kids and staff. She was a blessing and an inspiration to so many.

We will miss her so so much!
I first knew Darrin when she worked at the Quilting Bug. Long before she became a teacher but we talked about her desire to become one many times. She was always kind and genuine. I greatly admired her work with children.
So sad she is gone. =•

I loved Darrin. I worked with her at Medicine Crow and she was my favorite colleague. Such a personality and so full of love. I remember her saying "I love you" to me and many others as we went home at the end of the day. I went to a wedding with her and had a wonderful evening. I will miss her. LOVE & SYMPATHY to her Mom and her cat and all her family and friends!

Darrin was a wonderful teacher at Medicine Crow Middle School! She was always so kind to our family, especially to my husband, Nathan Dierenfield, that taught under Nick Ottoy. She will be dearly missed! We are so sorry about your loss. I'm so thankful the children and I got to meet her one time when we went to Medicine Crow to visit Nate. God bless you!
