Deepest condolences to the Murphy family on the sad passing of Betty. She was a wonderful woman,kind and funny and great to chat with. She always took great care of our dog Belle for years. She will be sadly missed.
Rest peacefully Betty

Deepest sympathy on the passing of Betty. A warm & welcoming lady who looked after our pup Bodie on his first time away from home and who was there through the years on his grooming trips to Karina. Rest in Peace in the arms of the Angels dear Betty.

I was so sad to hear of the news that Betty had passed. I have been doing Betty's hair for the last number of years and know her since I was about 15 after doing my work experience for TY with Karina.

I adored sitting talking to Betty and hearing all her amazing stories about her different careers, travels as a Judge, Ballyhagen and her doting on her brothers, mainly Pat as he was still alive, Anne Marie I feel like I know you at this stage. I had the pleasure of seeing Betty the week she went into hospital, to have her hair done and I am so happy I got to have one last catch up for old times sake. Inspirational lady who will always hold a special place in my heart!

May she rest in peace.

Love always, Cathal xx

Heartfelt condolences to family and friends left , Betty was a ray of sunshine in these wild times of present reality...

My deepest condolences to the family. Only twice in my life I met Betty, and it made a great impression on me. She was so very kind and in the same time determent in her style. A great knowledge and passion for the Irish Wolfhound, which she used to unite all fanciers and breeders. It is because of her that we were made possible to enhance the European Federation of Irish Wolfhounds into a worldwide Federation.
I will treasure the high tea and our photograph under the Apple tree.
Dear Betty, I will miss you, rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to all of Betty’s family and friends.

How lucky was I to travel Ireland with you! I’m very proud and blessed to be your niece, to have been gifted with your time and kindness. Rest in Peace, Aunty Betty xx

Even though we did not have opportunity to spend a lot of time together, I have to say that there was a special connection between us. For me, as for everyone, it was easy to fall in love with Betty, admiring her kind nature as well as her extensive knowledge. Working together with Betty in the framework of FIWC to preserve and promote our beloved breed has been an extremely enriching experience for me, I’m forever grateful.
Rest in peace, dear Betty, we’ll never forget you. Sincere sympathy to all the Murphy Family.

So, so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. Lovely memories of her in Ballyhagan House when we went to visit and have tea. She was such a lovely person, so kind and gentle and yet great fun. Very nice memories of her at family occasions. Very sadly missed by our family and in particular our mother, Mary Mooney. May she rest in peace.
Síona Mooney

Great memories of early schooldays in Maryfield. Hers was a life well spent and lived to the full. She was a loyal friend over the years and will be very sadly missed by all who knew her. May she rest in Peace.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

“A good friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.”

Farewell and Rest In Peace Betty Murphy. You are a fine example to us all. Condolences to your family and close friends during this time of grief. My thoughts and prayers with you all.

It is was great sadness that we learnt of Betty's passing. She was our Patroness and staunch supporter from the start of the club in 1982. Betty came to South Africa twice to judge and was loved and revered by all who met her. Her love of Irish Wolfhounds transposed into a love of all who loved them! She will be so greatly missed. The world has lost a Great Woman.

Sending my sincere condolences to the Murphy family. Betty will be missed by many many people across the World. I feel greatly privileged to have met Betty, I often think of her fondly and will continue to do so. Bettys passing is a huge loss not only to friends and family but to the whole Irish Wolfhound community around the World - we were truly blessed to have her in The Irish Wolfhound World

Condolences to Betty's family and friends. May she be met at the Bridge by all her hounds that went before.

I am so heartbroken. What an amazing woman. I have such fond memories of all Christmas’s throughout my life with Aunty Betty at the head of the table with dad on the other end. Lunches out with her, Sunday tea at her house with dad and some of my siblings, funny emails sent to each other for a laugh over the years, the dog shows I have been with her to over the years and lastly and most importantly her Aunty Betty isims. She had so much wisdom to share and her sayings were the best. I’ve often told her she should write them all down. I will miss her greatly. She was such an important member of our family. Growing up around Irish Wolfhounds was also a pleasure. Such gentle giants who always took a drink of water to drown me with their wet beards as I went to pet them & show them some love. She, dad & Uncle Tom are now together again and having a wonderful catch up. Sincere condolences to the other Murphy’s, Aunty Cepta, Daire, Colin & Caoimhe and also all her close friends in the Irish Wolfhound Club of Ireland. She will be greatly missed. I am homered to carry on her name. Much love x

Thanks Betty for your life. For giving me weekend us of the studio to print my photos and the lovely work for Irish Jesuit magazine. Great memories of visits to primrose park. So soon after Pat’s death. Sympathy and prayers from Neary family.

Sincere sympathy at Betty's going to her Heavenly reward. She was good to know

and will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace dear Betty. Such a privilege to know you and for your endless kindness over the years, you will be so missed

What a wonderful lady. She was a font of knowledge in so many areas and was always glad to share. Rest in peace Betty.

Sincere condolences to all the Murphy family. I have lovely memories of her in Ballyhagen House where we visited regularly when my family lived in Tullamore. Betty was a very special godmother to me and I have great memories of going fishing when we visited her house. She was there with me at all the celebrations I in my life. She was a great person, May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Thinking of all the Murphy family at this sad time. I am heartbroken at the loss of my wonderful Godmother, Betty. Rest in peace Betty and thank you for the memories.

We extend our sincerest sympathy to Aunty Cepta, Daire, Colin, Caoimhe and all my brothers and sisters on the passing of Aunty Betty (and extended family, of course). Unfortunately, we won’t be able to attend the funeral. It’s a heartbreaking loss especially as it’s so close to Daddy’s passing – two of the foundation pillars of my life gone within two months of each other – especially gut wrenching as we can’t attend her life celebration. I know Aunty Betty was missing her brother so very much. Aunty Betty was such an amazing lady – she was my confidante, my encouragement and I have very special memories of her at Primrose Park, Ballyhagan House, Ardeevin Ave. and Newcastle. I emigrated in 2001 and that changed but the highlight of our annual trips home was meeting up with her. She had such a very special place with all the Greenogue Murphy’s of all ages– she was so involved in every part of our lives. I know that she contributed so much to the IW world but she gave more to us. Love her so very much – please give her the send-off she deserves!

Due to Betty's life long friendship with mum and dad Jim and Cess Behan we knew Betty very well and have wonderful memories of her especially at the dog shows.. Rest in peace Betty, you will be so missed deepest condolences to her family .

It is with deep regret that we learn of the passing of Betty C. Murphy.
