Debbie has been an important part of my life journey. I remember meeting her when she lived in SF.
While I adjusted to living in Ca, she went to Virginia and was not far from my hometown of Charlottesville. When she was in real estate, she worked with Libby Palmer, my childhood friend from elementary through high school. If Carter Falconer was part of the real estate company, she and I knew each other too. Visited the very first historic and rural house/home with my then two children and their father. Debbie, as David, her brother, visited my family in Charlottesville. They joined all my four siblings and spouses and met everyone. Debbie later visited my Mom at her independent living residence. I have always been in awe of Debbie and her many accomplishments. She is one of a kind and very very special to me.

I just shared this with JB and he remembered when we visited Debbie that she had just returned from riding a horse on fox hunt!

I was so sorry to read today that Debbie passed away. (She was always Debbie to me)! My sister-in-law, Cynthia Crow happened to Google her and saw her obituary and beautiful picture. She was my first cousin as her mom Rosanna was my aunt. We came from a large Crow family as Debbie's mom was one of 6 girls and my dad was her brother. I send my deepest condolences to you, Robert, Lydia, Alex and to David Harrah, her brother. (Today happens to be David's birthday). What an amazing woman your dear wife, mom and sister was and to so many. It was probably almost 35 years ago when we last saw Debbie when we took our two sons to the east on a historical journey. We had a lovely day together. Sending our deepest condolences and blessings to you all... Mardi Crow Potts

Today the Crow Family out West first learned of the passing of Deborah Murdock in Virginia. She was a wonderful cousin who spent her lifetime in Virginia, raising what you know was a close family these last many decades. Please let me know if there will ever be a family service that we might be able to attend.

I am so so sorry to read of Deborah's death. My parents, Edith & Charlie Sheerin, so enjoyed her company. When my mother met Deborah when working with Polly McGavock and John Royer at their firm. As a fledgling realtor she so appreciated Deborah's knowledge. My parents delighted in the company of Deborah and Robert-wit, whimsy, knowledge, erudition and passion for all things D(d)emocratic and her wonderful smile. I send my deepest condolences to Robert and her family.

So sorry to read of Deborah's passing. We became friends in the '70s between Green Springs organizing and Democratic campaign work. She was a real force of nature, a natural leader and intricately knew where her North Star would guide her. Her friends and family have lost an authentic, witty voice for the goodness she lived. May your memories of her be a blessing always.

Condolences to Robert and Deborah's family. Deborah helped me find and buy a 1730 cottage in southern Albemarle and we were friends thereafter for decades. Her passion for historic preservation was authentic. She was well-educated, well-traveled and always witty. May her memory be a blessing.
