Susan R. Murphy

North Hampton - Susan R. Murphy of North Hampton, NH, formerly of Fairport, NY, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2025, after a courageous two-and-a-half-year struggle with Multiple Myeloma. Sue was born on September 29, 1952, in New York City to the late Edwin and Jessie Lindholm Conroy and grew up in Douglaston, NY. She earned degrees in Education from Keuka College and Elmira College and taught elementary grades in Romulus, NY. Her career shifted to management recruiting, then to consulting in the tech industry, where she rose to vice president with Peoplesoft, Inc., which was later acquired by Oracle Corp. In “retirement”, Sue joined her daughter Erin’s real estate firm, Proulx Real Estate. As “momager”, she used her business expertise to help grow that successful Portsmouth, NH, business. She is survived by her husband of 29 years, Kevin Murphy, daughters Nelli (Rob) Childs Strebel of Darien, CT and Erin (Ryan) Proulx of Portsmouth, NH, as well as grandchildren Max and Zachary Childs, Finnigan and Mia Proulx, and Hayden and Callum Strebel. She is also survived by her brother, David (Cathy) Conroy of New York City and her sister Karin (Stuart) Fisher of Essex CT, as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. Sue and Kevin enjoyed traveling together, having visited Australia and New Zealand, Hawaii, the Caribbean, much of Europe, and the Holy Land. They especially enjoyed their role of grandparents and attending all the sporting events and school activities that status provided. Friends may call Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home, 811 LaFayette Road, Hampton, NH 03842.
