A long time resident of Montgomery, Myrna loved gardening, and served in various positions in Canterbury Bells Garden Club, as well as President of Montgomery Federation of Garden Clubs 1986-87. Nothing brought more joy than sharing plants or cuttings to share with friends and neighbors. She also served in her churches in FL, GA, and AL over the years. She especially loved her Sunday School Class at Eastmont Baptist Church, Montgomery. She loved her family dearly, and they loved and cherished her. Many thanks for the loving care Mom received for the past five years at Elba Nursing and Rehabilitation in Elba, AL, and by Southern Care Hospice the past two weeks.
