Evelyn Erika Murphy 84, of Bronxville, NY, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.
Erika Murphy was a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Born in Berlin, Germany on August 15th, 1941 to Irma (Fruggel), and Hans Erich.
As a devoted wife, mother and friend, Erika dedicated her life to family and friends and animals in need. She will be remembered for her way of spreading love and kindness wherever she wentand her gift for making you feel special.
Her true legacy is the way she spent tireless energy in animal rescue, finding homes for or visiting shelters to walk and spending time with dogs who have no real home.
She is survived by her loving sons, Kirk Bedevian and Thomas Murphy, her grandchildren Brett, Brandon, Tommy, Ryan and Meaghan, and her brother Hans Erich. She was preceded in death by husband Richard Murphy.
We find comfort in the beautiful memories she leaves behind and in knowing that her spirit will continue to inspire us. Rest in peace, dear Erika. You will always be in our hearts.
In lieu of flowers, the family has set up a Go Fund Me page for donations to be directed to Best Bullies, which was a dog rescue organization close to her heart: https://gofund.me/bad3a6012
