Daphne Carol Blount, age 51 of Murphy, passed away on Sunday, June 29, 2025 and entered the glories of peace that passes all understanding and imagination at home with her loving family. Although she is no longer with us in her earthly body, her spirit lives on and she will forever be loved, remembered and cherished by her family and friends.
Daphne enjoyed spending time with her family, going to yard sales, being a Panther's fan, watching the Golden Girls show and being an artist. She also enjoyed her grandbaby, working in the medical field and helping other people. Daphne loved the sound of waterfalls and rushing creeks. She especially loved animals, fostering pets and working at Valley River Humane Society.
