About Paula Murphy:

“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do”- Rumi

 

I was raised in Blue Point on the bay but with strong roots in Patchogue. I attended St. Francis de Sales School and had many Patchogue friends. My father and uncle owned the Davis Park Ferry Company and had a business property on the Patchogue River. My cousins now have the ferry company, and my siblings and I have the Patchogue River property as well as properties at Davis Park on Fire Island.

Two things really formed my path in life:

1. Growing up knowing that Patchogue was a village that had great shopping, great markets and a diverse population. I have lived in the village for 53 years (OMG!) and raised four children here and who have a great attachment to their hometown. It continues to be a town of diverse population, which for me only reflects my values of how we need to live.
2. Growing up on the Great South Bay and the beaches of Blue Point and Fire Island gave me a sense of environmental responsibility and a love of nature.

 

I have been retired for 18 years after 33 years of teaching intermediate grades in the Blue Point Bayport and Connetquot School Districts, where I  incorporated outdoor education programs into the curriculum and started an after school garden club. Upon retirement I joined the Patchogue Garden Club and the rest is almost history. I followed my interest in projects and realized I have compiled quite a list:

Following in the footsteps of Patchogue’s many beautification efforts led by Eloise Staudinger, Sylvia Roeloffs, and Carl Unger. I feel honored to share their efforts with Karen Grote Ferb and to have carried on their groundbreaking work with the encouragement  and support of Patchogue Village, the Greater Patchogue Foundation, and the Business Improvement District as well as the help of many donors and dedicated volunteers.

Patchogue has never looked so vibrant, and I am pleased to be a part of it.
