Myrna was a member of East Main Street Christian Church in Elwood and also attended the Church of God in North Webster. While growing up Myrna sang in the church choir and also enjoyed playing the piano. When her children were young, Myrnas always like to take them camping and always cherished the many life-long memories she made with her family. Myrna was employed by many local factories including, Essex Wire, Ex-Cell-O, RGF, and Ray Brothers & Noble Canning; and eventually retired from Chematics in Pierceton after many years of service. She loved living the lake life, doing jigsaw puzzles, playing solitaire on her computer, and playing Mahjong. Myrna enjoyed growing plants and flowers in her yard and feeding all the birds. She was an Elvis fan and had the privilege to attend the last concert he performed in Indiana. Myrna will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
