She was born in Lauderdale County, Alabama on September 8, 1933, to the late Elbridge and Vernon Murphy.

Rebecca was a loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister. Her greatest joy was her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her family always looked forward to going to MamMaw’s for those special meals she prepared. She could often be seen in the bleachers cheering on her grands. If she could not attend, she wanted frequent updates by phone.
Wherever she went she was recognized by her customers from Liberty Supermarket and Walmart. They always remembered her for her sweet smile and her helpful nature.
She was a member of Chisholm Hills Church of Christ. In the last few years, although she was not able to attend in person, she was faithful to watch remotely for each service. She loved her church family.
