Maureen "Mo" Murphy

I also wanted to say how nice she was. She came with my family to the beach in Sea Side OR babysitting once. Iam sorry she is gone. She will be missed.

Hi when I was young she was my baby sitter. Later on when I was in grade school I took swimming lessons from Her ar the neighborhood house in NW Portland Oregon . I grew up next door on Glisan st 3434 NE.

Teammates and fun team times are the best of many of our memories. To live in the hearts of those you love is not to die. Mo is still with us!

Dear Murphy Family,
What a loss! You are in my prayers. I had the good fortune to see and visit with Maureen for at least 10 minutes since Christmas. She was always generous with her time.
lovingly, Mary Ann Myers

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful sister...Thoughts and prayers to Monsignor Murphy and family

Maureen was a warm and lovely lady. We were so glad to get to know her.Love to you all,Scott, Amy, Clair and Hannah

Maureen Murphy was a longtime friend and supporter of the work we do at Catholic Charities. We were so saddened to hear of her sudden passing. Maureen's compassion and generosity is part of the great tradition of our shared Christian faith: caring for those who need our help. May God bless you all.

Msgr Tim, Neil, & the Murphy family: I extend my condolences on the passing of Maureen. I remember her from her young swimming achievements, not realizing she was a member of the Murphy family of Central Catholic fame.

The gold medal not achieved in the Olympics has now been awarded as she stands on the podium in her celestial state...surrounded by the angels who silently cheered her earthly swimming meets.

May the grace of our Heavenly Father bring comfort as you mourn this loss.

Auntie Mo,

You will be so missed by All of your Family. Your Gracious Spirit, Sense of Adventure and Love of Life taught all so much. Some of my favorite memories of childhood are days spent with you zipping around between The Bay Rock, Doug's House and any number of stores that were having a great sale. As I grew up and had my own Family you were always there to remind me how wonderful they all are. From teaching the kids to swim, to suggestions on how to maximize lemonade sales, you always wanted the best for all of us. We will all miss you dearly.


Love The Murphy's,


Patrick, Lisa, Griffin, Jackson and Megan

Sorry for the loss of your love one, may you find comfort in knowing that those who have passed on in death God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15.

May the words of Jeremiah 29:11 bring comfort to family and friends during this time of sorrow. With many condolences, YR

Maureen, the MAC swim team owes you a debt of gratitude for your kindness, inspiration and remarkable swimming career you had there. We appreciate you taking the time to come and speak to our athletes and share your incredible experiences. That was profound and unforgettable you will be remembered forever Go Mighty Mo!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Msgr Tim Murphy and all his family. Maureen was seen at so many Central Catholic events as a loyal sister and supporter. My parents remembered her Olympic swimming exploits. She will be greatly missed.

Oh Miss Mo. My family loved you so much. You are my mom's best friend. You and Doug taught me to water ski and surf on Lake Oswego. And those fantastic 4th of July parties! Peace to you, Neil, and Monsignor Murphy.

Maureen was always a bright light wherever she went. Her warm heart, infectious smile and deep faith made the world a better place. What a loss to all of us, especially her close family members and friends.
