Meet Your Neighbor... Annette Murphy

On this episode of the Meet Your Neighbor Podcast, Steve sits down with Annette Murphy, a woman whose story is filled with independence, resilience, and the power of friendship. Single since 1974, Annette has built a life on her own terms and continues to inspire those around her with her positive spirit and determination.

In her eighties, instead of slowing down, Annette started the “Eighties Ladies” club in Westbrook Village—a group focused on connection, laughter, support, and making the most out of life. In this conversation, Annette shares her journey, what inspired her to create the club, and why building community and friendships becomes even more important as we age.

This episode is a wonderful reminder that purpose, joy, and new beginnings don’t have an expiration date. If you love stories about strong people, meaningful connections, and the special spirit of Westbrook Village, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Steve Merila — Host, Meet Your Neighbor
As Realtor Steve, I’ve learned that real estate is about more than houses — it’s about people, stories, and the connections that make a community feel like home. That belief inspired Meet Your Neighbor, a podcast where I sit down with the incredible residents of Westbrook Village to share their journeys, passions, and what brought them here.
Each episode is a genuine, easygoing conversation — like chatting over coffee with a friend — that reminds us how special this community truly is. My goal is simple: to help people connect, feel seen, and celebrate the amazing neighbors who make Westbrook Village one of a kind.
