St. Patrick's Day Parade about family – she knows
Leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, it’s difficult to miss Mary Ellen Murphy’s South Hill home. Not only are there plenty of green shamrocks around the front door and decorating the lights out front; there’s a green spray-painted St. Patrick’s Day logo on Murphy’s sidewalk.
And yes, the Murphys are throwing quite a St. Patrick’s Day bash on Saturday.
“We usually see between 75 and 100 people here, before the day is over,” said Murphy, who began setting out plates and glasses on several tables earlier this week. “It’s quite the party. We’ve always celebrated St. Patrick’s Day.”
One reason for the large guest count is undoubtedly that Murphy and her husband, Jack Murphy, have 10 children – six boys and four girls.
“My girls all help out with the party,” Murphy said. “They deserve a lot of the credit for keeping the tradition going.”
Murphy has been named Irish Woman of the Year 2012, in recognition of her tireless work to keep the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick parade afloat.
