SANDRA JEAN MURPHY
(SANDY)
September 20, 2019
Sandra Jean Murphy, "Sandy", age 77, died September 20, 2019 in Loveland.
Sandy was born in Pueblo, CO to Robert and Roberta Bennett. She spent her childhood in Pueblo and graduated from Centennial High School. She then moved to Colorado Springs where she married C.J. "Swede" Murphy on August 18, 1962. The two made a home there for most of their lives together, moving to Loveland in 2018.
For a time, Sandy worked as a receptionist for the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce and later as a secretary at Farmers Insurance. She then turned to being a homemaker, and mother to her two daughters. Sandy also coached tennis for many years at Cheyenne Mountain High School and she and Swede were long-time members of the Country Club of Colorado.
Sandy is survived by two daughters, Staci (Chris) Miller of Fort Collins and Melissa Murphy of Denver; and two grandsons, Adam and Ryan Miller. She was preceded in death earlier this year by her husband, C.J. "Swede" Murphy. They are now reunited and playing tennis again ... the score is love-love.

Staci & Missie,
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Abbie called me and told me. I cannot express how sorry I am. I am equally sorry that I just found out that your Dad had passed on earlier this year. Please know that I thought the world of your parents, and my love and prayers are with you, and your families!

Staci and Melissa,
My condolences go out to you with your mom's passing. I have such fond memories of your mom helping out with our high school tennis team. She was always cheering for us on and off the court...such a great, positive lady!
