grand neices and nephews and many cousins and friends.

Myrtle had a full life and saw many changes in the world. She
lived through World Wars I and II, the Cold War, the Korean War
and the Vietnam Conflict. She survived the Great Depression and
even the trip to California during the Dust Bowl Days. Jet airplanes
came about during her time, and she watched the newly invented
television as the first man walked on the moon. She lived through
hard times and good times with never a complaint. She was a retired
Licensed Practical Nurse, having served in that capacity for many years
at both the Seventh Day Adventist Hospital and the Ardmore Memorial
Hospital. She survived many sicknesses. In 1938 doctors in California
gave her three months to live, but she wouldn't accept that and she lived.
In 1953 a doctor in Ralston, Oklahoma pronounced her dead, but she wouldn't
accept that either. She fought off one bout with cancer, but she could not
fight off the next one. She lived a long life to share her love with her
large immediate and extended family.

We're all going to miss you Myrtle, Mom, Grandma, Sister, Aunt Myrtle, and
cousin Myrt. Now, may you finally rest in peace.
