Linda Murphy’s ALS battle ends with a legacy of laughter and kindness
Linda Murphy, a vibrant woman from Massachusetts, passed away on September 21 after battling ALS. Known for her lively spirit and love of throwing parties, she left behind a heartfelt—and humorous—obituary that has touched many. Her final words encouraged kindness, laughter, and a life lived without regret.
Murphy’s journey with illness began years earlier when she successfully fought breast cancer. Roughly a decade later, she received an ALS diagnosis, a condition that ultimately led to her death. Despite the challenges, she faced her final days with characteristic wit, even joking in her obituary that her passing was due to 'FOMO'—fear of missing out—from complications of bulbar ALS.
Murphy’s obituary has resonated far beyond her local community. Her request for random acts of kindness—through scratch-off tickets—offers a simple yet meaningful way to honour her legacy. The story of her life, marked by resilience and humour, continues to uplift those who read it.
