Betty Jane (Draudt) Murphy, 95, of Aurora, IL died on September 22, 2019 in Tavernier, Florida from complications of dementia. Betty was born August 7, 1924. She proudly lived on Pigeon Hill her entire life. She married former Illinois State Representative Lawrence “Laz” Murphy on September 21, 1946 and raised son, Tom and, daughter, Lynn, to be fierce East Aurora Tomcats. Betty retired from Austin Western to raise her family. She was a die-hard Democrat, an ardent supporter of St. Joseph’s Church, and staunch defender of her family and her community. She was generous to all whether stranger or friend. Not only was Betty kind, she was fun and had a wicked sense of humor. Survivors include her two children; Tom Murphy, Lynn (Tim) Zuccaro, three grandsons, Tim (Natalie) Murphy, Kevin (Shelly) Murphy, Jon (Melissa) Murphy; four great grandchildren, Isabelle, Colin, Joseph and Brooklyn Murphy; her very dear friends, Tell and Lisa Jacobson Coffey; and many extended family members. Betty was preceded in death by her husband Lawrence “Laz” Murphy; her parents, George and Mary Draudt; her brother Robert Draudt, and many extended family members. In lieu of flowers, please honor Betty with a kindness to someone in need. Visitation will be held Friday, September 27, 2019 from 4:00 PM until 7:00 PM at THE DALEIDEN MORTUARY, 220 North Lake Street, Aurora, Illinois 60506.
