THE OLD GUARD PASSING –
March 21, 2025 – It is with great sadness that the Stepping Stones Foundation and the Murphy family share news of the passing of Debbie D. Murphy (September 19, 1933–January 21, 2025). Debbie was a dear friend of Bill and Lois Wilson. She touched many lives through her music and through her message that family recovery is possible. We remember Debbie’s extraordinary 91 years, including 63 years of sobriety. Debbie’s legacy as a musician, devoted mother and wife, passionate alcoholism recovery educator and advocate will continue to inspire.
