It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mrs. Geeske 'Gay' Murphy of Sylvan Lake, Alberta, at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre, Rimbey, Alberta on Monday, March 8, 2021 at the age of 71 years. Gay was born on May 20, 1949 in Nijland, Friesland, Netherlands and raised in Canada.

Gay will be lovingly remembered by her children, Patrick (Angela), Christie (Bill) and Erin (Matt); her four grandchildren; her brothers and sisters, as well as numerous other family members and dear friends.
Gay was predeceased by her husband, James 'Jim'; her parents, Hinke and Aaron Spijksma; her parents-in-law, Christine and Noel Murphy and her infant twin sisters, Hittje and Geeske in the Netherlands.
