“I will miss this spunky lady,” Maggie Whitt posed on social media. “Kind, but direct and to the point. She lived a great life.”
Roxanne Brenner Bogdan wrote, “She will be missed. She gave so much to this city. Her hugs, smiles and spunk will always be remembered.”
Former City Secretary Susie Quinn wrote, “She was so much fun. She loved being on the Murphy City Council. She cared about her family. She will be missed.”
Wayne Spraggins, a Marine who fought in the battle of Iwo Jima, passed away in Murphy in 2020 at the age of 95. He had been a journalist and business owner.
