Terry Lynn Murphy Prater, 25, of 1269 Holliday, died yesterday at Methodist Hospital. Services will be at 2 p.m. today at Forest Hill Funeral Home East with burial in Forest Hill Cemetery East. She leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Murphy; a sister, Miss Cindy Murphy, and three brothers, Clarence E. Murphy, Steve A. Murphy and Richard G. Murphy, all of Memphis, and her grandmother, Mrs Lucille Murphy of Bassett, Ark.

She was a beautiful, gentle soul taken much too soon from us. Terry was diagnosed at a young age with Diabetes and in the end it was probably the contributing factor to her death. She loved children and wanted them so much that she risked her own life in order to bring forth others. Unfortunately, it was too much for her body and she passed away.

I remember as a child spending weekends at her house making clover leaf necklaces, finding pop bottles to be turned in for the deposit money and buying candy, going to drive-ins with our families. They were fun times.
