Kay-Ellen Murphy
DANIELLE COVER
Seussical
2023

Kay-Ellen was the heart and soul of Bloomfield Players. She always saw the good in everyone she met and passionately believed in the magic of the theater. We marveled at her tireless energy, her selflessness, her diversity of talents and her ability to brighten the room and the mood of those around her whenever she was there. She truly and deeply did all she did because she loved the people of Bloomfield Players and wanted them to succeed. And she went about it all with genuine passion, compassion, humor and humility.

If the wealth of life is measured in the number of lives you touch and the time and energy that you give to others, Kay-Ellen was the richest soul that we ever had the honor of knowing.
