Kelly (Murphy) Lamphere, 48, of Chittenango, NY peacefully passed away surrounded by family on Friday, September 27, 2019 after a ten year battle with multiple myeloma.
Kelly was born in Binghamton, NY on October 18, 1970 to Brian and Marlene Murphy.

She is predeceased by her father-in-law Bill Lamphere.
Kelly graduated from Johnson City (NY) HS in 1988, attended Broome Community College, and was awarded her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University at Albany. After teaching history for a number of years, Kelly was the Assistant Principal at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School in Newport News, VA as it achieved National Blue Ribbon School recognition.
In 2009 Kelly and her family returned to New York, residing in Chittenango. Her joy was cheering on her children at various sporting events. Kelly and her family belong to the Immaculate Conception Parish in Fayetteville.

Her family is grateful for Kelly’s support network of friends and neighbors in the Chittenango community, most especially her dear friend Jacki Boulter. The family also expresses our appreciation to Kelly’s healthcare teams at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Brigham & Women’s Hospital; Hematology-Oncology Associates of CNY; the infusion staff at Madison Irving Medical Center; and the NeuroICU and palliative care teams at Crouse Hospital.
