Obituary 
Mrs. Fannie Mae Hendrix Murphy was bom on April 28, 
1926 in Evans County Georgia to the late Pearl Surrency 
Hendrix and Oscar Quincy Hendrix. The late Cora 
Hendrix, her loving step-mother, reared her after her 
mothers untimely death. On Monday, September 24, 
2012, she completed her earthly journey for a well 
deserved eternal rest with her heavenly father. 
A woman of faith who enjoyed life the fullest, loving 
and living for her God and family, Mrs. Murphy found 
much joy in attending New Bethel Baptist Church in 
Reidsville, GA and was a devoted member of Historic 
Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Claxton, GA. She was 
baptized at an early age and served until her death. She 
was educated in the local church schools in the Evans 
County area and later sent to complete her schooling at 
the Dickinson Training School in Vidalia, GA. 
She was married to the late Artis Calvin Murphy. This 
union was blessed with an abundance of life through 
blended and extended families. A mother of 11, 
grandmother of 60, great grandmother of 76, and great- 
great grandmother of 2; these flowers in her garden were 
pruned with the Bible and the broom stick.

Memories 
The time will come when I must say goodbye to those 1 love, 
when my body will be too sick and worn out to keep me here, 
when my season in this world will be over. 1 thank You for 
the many years you have given me and ask that You be with 
me and my family when my time does come. Comfort those 1 
will leave behind reminding them that I have had a full, 
productive life and that my time is in Your hands. 
Farewell Our Precious Grandmother 
Farewell our preeious grandmother 
Your raee on Earth is done 
You now live in heaven 
With God and His gracious son 
Although our heart mourns for you 
And our eyes are filled with tears

To love and guide us through the years 
You were always an inspiration 
Your strength, it knows no bounds 
We know that God has blessed you 
With many heavenly crowns 
So farewell our precious grandmother 
You will always be in our heart 
We will remember your gentle teachings 
From which weTl never part 
-From the Most Sincere Hearts, Your Grandchildren-
