Myrna Peterson entered this world on March 10, 1937 to Howard Wendell Peterson and Geneva Beatrice Olston Peterson. The family grew up on a farm near Ponca City. On December 27, 1952 she married Donald Kerschner. Through this matrimony they had six (6) children. The couple resided in Enid for a short time and then moved to Edmond in 1962. Myrna was a homemaker but also worked at Lucent Technologies, in Oklahoma City, for many years where she retired. During her employment at Lucent, Myrna volunteered entertaining the ill children at the Children’s Hospital in OKC as “Buzzle” the Clown, a nickname given to her by her daddy due to the buzzing noise she made as a baby.
Don passed away August 2, 2013 shortly before celebrating 61 years of marriage. Myrna is predeceased by her husband, Don, a daughter, Dawnella, and a granddaughter Candace. Myrna is survived by her daughter Neva Hurst (John), Donald Kerschner Jr. (Cheryl/deceased), Angela Ball (David), David A. Kerschner, and Darrin Kerschner. Myrna is also survived by ten (10) grandchildren and thirteen (13) great-grandchilden.
Myrna was loved by all that knew her and she loved them back with “a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck”.
