Theresa Ann (Spillane) Murphy, age 93, of Stratford and beloved wife of the late William P. Murphy, entered eternal life Saturday, June 1, 2019 in the Lord Chamberlain Nursing Facility surrounded by her loving family.
Mrs. Murphy was born November 21, 1925 in Bridgeport and was the daughter of the late James and Catherine (Devine) Spillane and had been a lifetime area resident.
Theresa was retired from the Stratford Board of Education and was a member of the Gaelic-American Club, active at Southbury Training School, and along with her husband she was an active and devoted member of Saint James Church, Stratford volunteering in many roles to further the work of the church.
Above all Theresa was most proud of her family and devoted to being wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and good friend. She was a devout Irish Catholic woman who was warm and caring with a feisty sense of humor. The best times for Theresa were being surrounded by family and friends and enjoying a hot dog and chardonnay. She loved feeding the birds, a good word search, St. Anthony, the Rosary, and letting you know when she couldn't smell anything cooking. She was happiest when Bill finally retired so he could take over the cooking.
Survivors include her son and three daughters; a sister. She was predeceased by a son, Michael Murphy and siblings, Cornelius Spillane, Rita Baynocky, Katherine Lanz and Eileen Kaeser.
Interment in Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Trumbull.
