I will always remember Myrtle's contagious smile. Everytime I saw her, whether it was years ago at Safeway or when I visited her last year..she would say "How's my girl doing?" Keep the happy memories close to your heart, I will.

I remember many times sitting on the dog food by the registers at Safeway 5o plus years ago watching a beautiful "Red Head" check my mothers groceries. Not many years after that , I would be over her house with one of my best friends Dereck and she would treat me like I was one of the family. I will always cherish those old memories. Love Fred Eanni

We want to extend our most heartfelt condolence to Myrtle's family, she was a great person. My husband has great memories of her when as a young boy he spent many hours over at her house while visiting with her son Daryle. She was always very gracious while putting up with a room full of boys. She will always be remembered fondley.

If there was any way I could be there to say goodbye, I would. Aunt Myrtle was a rock and always loving Aunt. We always went through her line at Safeway! I will miss her dearly and will join her some day when it is my time. I can still hear her voice and laugh... Big hugs to att the Rolds everyone who is there... I am flying that day... to the east. Love from Rinda Jane.
