Thomas "Kelly" Murphy, 57, of Mt. Sterling, died Thursday evening, July 12, 2018 at St. Joseph Hospital.  He was born on October 8, 1960 to the late Joseph "Teddy" and Mary Evelyn Conyers Murphy.

Kelly was a member of Freedom Church and Senior Vice President of Whitaker Bank in Mt. Sterling. He enjoyed a long career in banking that began at the age of 18.  Kelly saw the good in others considering his handshake and word to be bond.  A proud Mt.
