Kimberly A. Murphy-Sitko

Kimberly Murphy (Sitko) of West Newton, peacefully moved on into eternal life on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026. God decided he needed a day of rest from cleaning, so he called her home to Redd Things Up. Like every day for the last four months, she battled until her last breath. Born to Jim and Carol (Neff) Murphy on Nov. 28, 1970. She graduated from Yough High School with honors in 1988 and received her associate's degree from WCCC in business administration. Instead of the traditional route of college, she took her talents to retail, starting w/ Gabriel Brothers and ultimately with Burlington, where she spent her time between Greensburg and Monroeville. In April 2003, the light of her life, her daughter was born. It wasn't easy, but she went to every swim function, dance recital, and band competition and laid the groundwork for her to become the beautiful young woman she is today! Fast forward to January 2020, and with the help of Jordan, sent a simple friend request to her soul person, Christopher Sitko. They reconnected after 25 years apart and started a new journey together in South Carolina and were married in Deep Creek, MD, on Oct. 22, 2022. She is survived by her cherished daughter, Jordan; her father, Jim; sister, Kelly (Nelson); niece, Madison; and soulmate, Christopher Sitko. A service will be held at noon on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, at First Church of God, 157 N. Second St., West Newton.
