Edith "Edie" Davis Chapman Murphy

Ms. Edith was a Sweet Lady, the mother of my long time friend Stan Chapman. My condolences to her friends & family. May the Good Lord rest her Soul.

As a young man, I worked at FDOT in the Safety Office and was often required to get documents from the section that Edith oversaw. Me being quite talkative back then, Edith was always enjoyable to interact with and patient with my tendency to be a bit overly social in my youth. Her positive, upbeat demeanor and unique wit was so likeable making for good conversation. I always looked forward to being sent to her office for documents.
Over the years after I left DOT, we would run into each other at the Credit Union, Cafeteria and other places. She always remembered me and my Father Ronnie Yon (who worked in Right of Way and interfaced with her in his 33-year career at FDOT). Our brief visits (as recently as about 5 years ago at the Credit Union) were always upbeat and an inspiration as to her independence and positive spirit throughout her long, well lived life. Edith was indeed a special lady.

I met Edith as a child when my dad worked for DOT. When I was hired in 1986 she was still working at DOT. She was a awesome person. I never forgot her and never will. My condolences to family. God Bless
