Holley Turner Murdock, of Kennesaw Georgia, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loved ones, on Dec 10 ^th , 2024. A native of Marshallville, Georgia, Mrs. Murdock attended the Westfield School in Perry, Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Mrs. Murdock went on to attend the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in nursing. Mrs. Murdock’s nursing career spanned over 20 years in the neuro-intensive care field. Additionally, Mrs. Murdock earned her certification as an Emergency Medical Technician and Paramedic and served as a Flight Nurse, participating in world-wide aero-medical evacuations and transport of critically ill or wounded patients.
