Melinda Sue Murphy

Idaho Falls, Idaho. It was a happy day for us. She passed away July 8th, 2018 at home

unexpectedly in Marbleton Wyoming.

Melinda spent her first six years in Ammon, and attended Kindergarten and First grade

at Hillview Elementary. The family moved to Rock Springs Wyoming and she went there through

sixth grade. The family returned to Driggs, Idaho and she went to junior High and Teton High

School. She returned to Ammon, and finished her schooling, graduating from Hillcrest High

School in Ammon in 2005.

Melinda met and married Cameron Murphy on July 1, 2005. They made their home in

Shelley, Idaho and were blessed with four children. The family moved to Marbleton in 2011

where they had resided since that time.

Melinda was the loving mother of Kodey, Beau, Rilygh, and Adileigh (Addie).

Melinda is survived by her loving husband, Cameron Murphy, Parents Susan and Jason

Wood, Grandparents Leora Wood, and Paul and Margene Jordan, a sister Danielle

Breckenridge (Jeff) and niece Charly, and two nephews Lane and Liam Wood.

Melinda was preceded in death by two brothers Cody Ray Wood and Seth Wood, and

Melinda was a sweet fun-loving woman who volunteered throughout her community,

and would help anyone who needed help with kids, housework, moving, she was very involved

with her children and made sure they were able to do sports and other activities. She loved

being with family and friends.

Melinda will be greatly missed by those who loved her, and by her children.
