Erma Lee Page Murphy, the daughter of Ambert Lee and Thelma (Forbes)
Page, was born March 6, 1928, in Marietta. She died Thursday, May 16,
2024, at her Gainesville, Texas residence at the age of 96.
She graduated from Meadowbrook High School in 1946 and was a long-time

She married Roy Murphy on August 3, 1951, and were married almost 55
years. He died April 18, 2006. They were the parents of two children,
son Roy Lee and daughter Sue. Erma Lee's hobbies were reading, knitting,
and watching basketball on TV.
The family lived in Lubbock, Plainview and Amarillo, TX, where she was a

community and later moved to Gainesville.
After Erma Lee quit driving out of town, she attended Temple Baptist
Church in Gainesville and became a member of the Disciples Sunday School
Class. She discovered the Stanford House, where she spent many enjoyable
hours playing 42 and attending as many activities as she could work into
a day.

brother, Leo Page and his wife Barbara; stepsister, Peggy Sykora and
husband Butch; and stepbrother, Lewis Foster and wife Jo.
Those left to carry on Erma Lee's legacy are her children, Sue Murphy of
