A homemaker and artist, Myrtle found fulfillment in caring for her family and expressing her creativity. She was of the Baptist faith.

Myrtle will be remembered with love by those whose lives she touched, and her memory will remain a treasured part of her family’s story.

Her Great Grandson Shea wanted to say that although he may not be able to be there, he hopes she finds peace wherever she is now. He bets she is painting up there while she is watching over us, even if she isn’t physically here. We all will always love her, no matter where or how far she may be.

Her Great Granddaughter Kaydence wanted her to know that she always gave the best hugs to both of them and the dogs.

We all love her and always will.
