In Loving Memory of Charla Yvette

Charla Yvette Murphy

April 30th 1977 - January 13th 2026

Mother, daughter, sister, auntie, cousin, friend, transitioned peacefully from this life on January 13th after a long but victorious fight. For to be absent in body

Is to be present with the Lord. - 2 Corinthians 5:8

Charla was bold, outgoing, and genuine; she loved to stand out from the crowd but she never, ever met a stranger; she lit up every room she entered. Charla deeply loved her family and proudly served her community through her professional career in real estate. She attended St. Therese Catholic Academy and, in 1995, graduated from Garfield High School.

Charla will be remembered for her vibrant spirit, warm heart, and the lasting impact she made on everyone who had the privilege of crossing her path.

She leaves to carry her light; son Demario Hearns; daughter Delilah Corbett; parents Debra Favors and Charles Murphy; siblings, Lanae (Dale) Miller, Leslie Torve, Lamar Murphy and Lecia Murphy; Aunts Claudia Abraham, Donna Favors, Azelea (James) Doss and her special friend Benjamin Mitchell; along with a host of cousins and friends.

There will be a celebration of life on January 28, 2026, at 2:00 pm Rainier Arts Center, 3515 South Alaska St., Seattle, WA
