Raymond Patrick Murphy
1948-2017
REXTON, NB – It is
with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Raymond
Patrick Murphy. Raymond passed away at the Dr.-Georges-L.-Dumont
University Hospital on August 9th, 2017 at the age of 69. He
was born in Rexton and was the son of the late Dan and Margaret
(Markey) Murphy. Raymond was a man of many talents, be it teaching or
municipal politics, he worked tirelessly for the benefit of others. He
was an avid card player and an active member of St. Peter’s
Catholic Church in South Branch, N.B. Raymond was the very definition
of what a community volunteer should be. His contributions will be
missed by many.
Since 2003, Raymond was employed as Executive
Director of the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick (UMNB). He
greatly enjoyed his work at UMNB and the connections he made over the
years. Raymond was also passionate about education. He worked hard for
over 30 years to ensure the success of his students, all the while
mentoring countless teachers along the way. Even after retiring, he
stayed involved in the education system serving as a representative of
the Kent region for the Anglophone North School
District.
Raymond will be greatly missed by his wife of 33
years, Claire (Robichaud); daughter, Tobi Haywood (Chris) of Squamish,
B.C.; son Daniel (Melissa) of Fredericton; sister, Sharon Ward
(Gordon); sister-in-law, Cathy Murphy of Hampton; as well as by his
nieces and nephews, Christa, Tim and
Katie.

Sackville.
Besides his parents, Raymond is predeceased by his
brother Mike.
