My relationship with Myrna goes back to the first days at PIC. Myrna was always a hard worker and dedicated to her children and their well being.
We worked together in the Stat department and even though we worked diligently she went on to one day be in charge of the department.!
She was not only a good friend but lots of fun to be with. Good memories of working with Blanch, Bert and Les along with Myrna!!
Definitely a wonderful kind hearted soul. I’m so fortunate to have known and worked with Myrna.
My deepest condolences to the family, she will be missed by so many people.
Sending prayers for everyone along with lots of hugs and love 💕

What a wonderful life and woman! Beautifully written. I will always cherish witnessing Myrna’s compassion on trips to visit my brother Jerry, Debbie, Shannon and Sean. Myrna unselfishly cared for my brother Jerry while he too had a courageous battle with cancer. Now they are at peace. She truly is a model for all of us. Condolences and love to Bill and all her family and friends that she undoubtedly touched and impacted as Myrna touched and impacted me.
