I am so sad to report that Virginia Murney, wife to Ken Murney, and owner of Discovery Bay’s Woody’s Bar & Grill (now named Boardwalk Grill), drowned last night in a tragic accident off her dock on Windward Point , the details of which are still unknown. A beautiful, always smiling, young woman, who was loved by many. She will be missed enormously.

Services are being planned. We will post that information when it becomes available.
She did always have a smile on her face.. She will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ken, and Virginia’s family. Our hearts are heavy.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Ken and your family. I will miss Virginia’s beautiful smile and friendly ‘hellos’. I always looked forward to running into her in the community and admired her devotion to your grandson. Virginia will be missed.
