Etola "Tobie" Murphy
Belden- Etola Wayne "Tobie" Murphy, 90, went to be with her Heavenly Father on June 19, 2018. She was born September 27, 1927 and lived a remarkable life. She co-authored the book, "Tobie and Carl," which detailed how she was a strong and forgiving woman. Tobie loved all of God's creatures, (particularly dogs and birds) and all children.
