Murphy, Mary Kathleen (McCracken, nee Sadlier), Truro,
slipped peacefully into the presence of her Saviour, on Friday, June
15, 2018 in the Colchester East Hants Health Centre,
Truro.
Born August 8, 1923 in Enagh, County Roscommon, Ireland, she
was a daughter of the late Albert and Mary (Lyttle) Sadlier. Mary was
generous, hard-working, and full of fun. She always had room
at her table and welcome in her heart for all who needed care.
She will be remembered with joy and love by all who knew
her. She was saved by grace on December 7, 1945, trusting in the Lord
Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection on her behalf. Through
hard times and good, the scriptures were her strength and comfort. Her
favourite verse was Psalm 18:30 -As for God, his way is
perfect:
She is survived by her children Bill (Jeanette), Kathleen
(Bob), Brian (Arlene), Robert (Ruth), Tom (Deb), Esther (late Ken),
and Maureen (David); 22 grandchildren; 30 great
grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her first husband John McCracken; her
second husband Matt Murphy; daughters, Eleanor and Lynn (Brad).
