Violet Ruby Nott, daughter of Ralph and Elsie Flores Nott was born on February 16, 1952 in De Witt, Arkansas. She received her education from the Eldora Community Schools and on May 29, 1969 she married Marvin Lynn Murphy at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Eldora. The couple resided in Eldora where they raised their family. She was employed at Dodger Manufacturing in Eldora for over 10 years and at Swift in Marshalltown for over 17 years until retiring due to her failing health. Bubby enjoyed crafts and making wedding and birthday cakes. She especially loved spending time with her family and friends.
Survivors include her loving husband of over 46 years, Marvin Murphy of Eldora, IA; two sons, Lance Murphy of Bangor, IA, Chad (Heather) Murphy of Eldora, IA; two daughters, Brandy Helton and fiancé, Jerry Flanders of Corydon, IA, Sondra (Joey) Kellum of New Hartford, IA; her grandchildren, Brittney, Hannah, Zach, Kaytlynn, Braxton, Tayrian, Austin, Morganne, Taylor, Brandon, Bryce, Skylar, Joseph, Shelby, Jamie, Abby, Dalton, Nick and Kris; 10 great grandchildren; three sisters, Frances, Edith and Mary; five brothers, Clyde, James, Charles, Floyd and Jack; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Bubby was preceded in death by her granddaughter, Emilie Murphy and her sister, Darlene Haller.
As her son Chad states, "She left this world the same way she lived it. Under her own terms, she was a very stubborn person and did things the way she wanted, when she wanted and nobody could tell her otherwise. When my parent's house burnt down, she defied all of the doctor's predictions and the doctors even stated that she was the toughest individual that they had ever seen. Our response, we warned you. She is no longer suffering and is in a better place."
