Beverly Laura Roy nee Murphy, aged 68, passed peacefully on November 15, 2025, after a long courageous battle with breast cancer. She is survived by her husband Andrew (Andy) Roy, her son Michael Roy, daughter Sarah Lineham (Drew) and grandson Wyatt Lineham.
Bev was devoted to her family. She was a woman who loved fiercely, showed care through being direct and honest and was just simply fun to be around. She was an avid volunteer at the home and school association of her children, alongside her time as a figure skating coach. She also volunteered at the club and regional levels of Skate Canada. In her earlier days, she was a Canadian Ski Patroller, which is how she met Andy, patrolling at Glen Mountain. Bev was very fortunate to share her skating and skiing passions with her family.
Bev’s favorite things included her animals, baking, reading, eating fried clams in Shediac and spending time at the lake; her happy place.
Besides her children, Bev is survived by her two brothers: Ron Murphy (Sylvie) and Patrick Murphy (Carol) and two sisters: Barbara Clark and Brenda Roy (Tony). Family and Friends are invited to visit Beechwood, Cemetery, Funeral and Cremation Services, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario, on Saturday, December 13, 2025 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. followed by a Celebration of Life Service at 11:30 a.m. A reception will follow. Private burial will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the May Court Hospice.

My condolences to the whole family on the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother and sister. She was a very special woman and left a legacy that will inspire others. I always found my conversations with Bev to be upbeat and fun no matter her circumstances including a broken bone. She will be missed by many.

Bev was the first person I met when I moved to Beaconsfield in 1988. We would go for long walks after the children’s naps looking at houses and then we took turns for tea. She was a good neighbour and friend. My sincere condolences to Andy, Michael and Sarah.
