Publish in a newspaper
Born on August 15, 1966, in Savannah, Georgia, Maria touched countless lives with her kindness, laughter, and unwavering strength. She attended Saint Vincent's Academy in Savannah and drew profound inspiration from her faith, finding salvation through her deep relationship with Jesus Christ. Maria enjoyed collecting crosses, coloring, and, above all, caring for her family, whom she cherished dearly.
She is survived by her husband, Samuel Edgar Muphy; her son Kermit Neal Lowery; her sisters, Heidi (David) Allen and Victoria (Mark) Shuman; her nephews, Zack and J.C. Allen, and Chapman and Mason Shuman; and her grandchildren, Jason, Evan, and Hailey Murphy, whom she raised as her own. Maria was preceded in death by her parents, John and Linda Constantine, and her sons, Michael and Stephen Lowery.
