In Loving Memory of Jennette Suzanne Murphy

Jennette Suzanne Murphy

Passed away peacefully in Tehachapi, California, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Jennette, lovingly known as Jennie, was a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker whose warmth and kindness touched everyone around her. She enjoyed handcrafting gifts and keepsakes using materials she collected from the beach, a reflection of her creativity and love for nature. Jennie also worked at Northrop, where she contributed to several important projects in the aerospace industry.

She is survived by her husband, Jim Murphy, and her beloved child, Haloka Murphy, whom she cared for with unwavering love and dedication, and her Mother and Father Bill and Cookie Brewer.

Jennie's life was deeply rooted in her faith and her relationship with Jesus, which guided her through both joyful and challenging times. Her compassion and strength were evident in the way she nurtured her family and lived each day with grace.

She found joy in the simple pleasures of life-traveling, camping, and spending time outdoors surrounded by nature. This past summer, she and Jim were blessed to take one final RV trip together, a journey filled with love, peace, and cherished memories.

A small, private service will be held at the family's home in Tehachapi in the near future to celebrate Jennie's life and legacy.

Jennie will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her deep devotion to her family, and the light she brought into the lives of those who knew her.

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever."

- Revelation 21:4
