Memorial service for Penny Ann Murphy is 3:00 p.m. Sunday, December 23, 2018, at First Baptist Church, officiated by the Rev. Jimmy Berkenbile. Cremation arrangements are by Cordry-Gritz Funeral Home.
Penny was born April 11, 1945, to Foster F. and Peggy Hughes Johnson. She was the first of six children. Penny went home to the Lord Thursday, December 20, 2018.
Penny had a caring, loving nature. She graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1970, with a Bachelor of Science Degree.
Following graduation, she taught the first, second, and fourth grades, and art, at Hennessey Public Schools. Many students benefited from her skillful, talented instruction throughout her 43-year career.
