Rebecca Murphy Obituary

Rebecca Jean "Becky" Murphy, 78, of rural Warsaw, Indiana passed at 10:52 pm, Sunday, June 15, 2025 at the Cedar Creek of Warsaw, where she had resided for several months.
Becky was born on August 10, 1946, in Warsaw, Indiana, to the late Robert E. and Emma Christine (Denny) Schooley. She graduated from Claypool High School in 1964 and went on to dedicate over 37 years to food service. Becky began her career with Warsaw Community Schools and later became head cook at Burket School. She then served at Tippecanoe Valley High School, retiring in 2014.
Throughout her life, Becky was active in her faith community. She was formerly a member of Mentone United Methodist Church and more recently attended Cook's Chapel Church.
Becky's greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren-rarely missing a sporting event as their biggest fan. She had enjoyed hummingbirds, found peace in gardening, and was well known for her homemade yeast rolls, which she loved teaching others to make.
She is survived by her children Mike and wife Amy Murphy of Akron and Stephanie and husband Troy Shull of Mentone; grandchildren Camron, Breanna (Brian), Tenaya (Collin), Travis, McKenzie (Jacob), Tucker, Emily (Chase); great grandchildren Chloe and Caleb; sister Connie and husband Terry Harrell of Plymouth; and a brother Dennis and wife Claudia Schooley of Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Becky was preceded in death by her parents.
The funeral service will take place at 11:30 am, Friday, June 20, 2025 at King Memorial Home 101 North Tucker Street Mentone, Indiana with Pastor Butch Toke and Pastor Lane Lingofelter officiating.
Her interment will take place following the service in the Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw, Indiana.
Visitation hours will be held from 4 pm to 7 pm, Thursday, June 19, 2025 at King Memorial Home, Mentone, Indiana.
Memorial contributions can be made in her memory to the Beaver Dam Community Church with the memo to Wheels on Fire.
