Cancer support benefit in honor of former Norwood resident

Guest blog by Cameron Kelley

A dear friend of ours, Arlene Murphy lost her battle with colon cancer a little over a year ago. She was a real fighter for many years, lobbying Congress, volunteering at cancer fundraisers, etc. Her husband Ed Murphy is putting on a benefit at the 20th Century in Oakley on March 25 to raise money for the Cancer Support (Wellness) Community.

Ed and Arlene started their life together here in Norwood, renting an apartment at 4000 Montgomery Rd. (for $85/mo)! They both worked many years at American Laundry, and many Norwood residents may remember them.
