Murry Dale DeCamp

Murry Dale DeCamp, 74, of Shelbyville, passed away Sunday, April 7, 2024, at the VA Hospital in Indianapolis.

He was born to Edith and Olen DeCamp in Terre Haute, and graduated from Elkhart High School in 1967.   He served as a weather observer in The AirForce, and went on to graduate from ISU and lead a successful career in retail and hotel management.

Murry was a consummate storyteller and never missed an opportunity to share anecdotes from his years on Crete, his shenanigans as a yellow shirt at the Indy 500, or his time with the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce.

To know Murry was to love Murry, and he will be truly missed.

Murry is survived by his wife, Cindy (McKenney); his children, Kara and Ralph Ebbutt, and Lauren and Tim Hughes; and his three granddaughters, Sophia, Ava and Breena.   He is also survived by his sister, Diane Miller and her family.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and sister, Betty Johns.

A Celebration of Murry’s Life will be held later this summer.

Memorial contributions in his memory may be made to the Richard L. Roudebush VA Hospital, 1481 W. 10^th St., Indianapolis, IN 46202.
