Those who knew Beth Murphy, the owner of the famous Murphy's Bleachers across from Wrigley Field, are remembering her Tuesday. She died at 68 after a yearslong battle with cancer.
Sheffield Avenue outside the bar still bears his name.
"Sometimes she was the only woman in the room, but you never messed with Beth Murphy. She knew her stuff. She knew where her heart was," Alderman Tom Tunney said. "I've been a patron of Murphy's for as long as I've been in Chicago, and it's a great institution. And Beth was someone everyone liked and is gonna miss," Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said.
