Ernest "Ernie" Leroy Murphy Memorial

Hi, my name is Rosetta Murphy and I lost my husband Leroy due to a serious car accident on Wednesday, January 4, 2023. He was driving home from work on Hwy 20, a two-lane road between Corvallis and Albany when a utility trailer disconnected from the truck hauling it and crossed the center lane striking Leroy's car. He was transported by ambulance to the Corvallis hospital where he passed away a short time later.

Leroy was a dedicated and loving husband to me, father to our son Ryan and his wife Jacqueline, and grandfather to Betty Rose, Poppy, and Daisy. We just celebrated forty-three years of marriage in December 2022. He will be missed terribly by all of us.

This unexpected loss has been devastating to our family, and we are faced with many expenses related to his funeral. Additionally, I will have other short-term living expenses as I am restructuring our household finances following the loss of his income as an industrial automation technician. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.
