AGE: 85 • Wilmington
Myra B. Wallace, age 85, of Wilmington, DE, went home to be with the Lord surrounded by loving family on Tuesday, December 29, 2015.

Barry Gray), Kimberly Henry (Keith), Stephen Wallace (Tracey), and David Wallace (Michele); 9 grandchildren; 2 great grandchildren; sister, Betty Parsons (Milt); brothers, Reid Brown (Annette) and Bradley Brown (Carolyn); and sister-in-law, Dorothy Brown.

I knew and loved Myra my entire life. She married my cousin, J.W. All of Myra's relatives are my cousins. Myra was always sweet and precious. She would sing with my mother, Mae Worley Banks. How strange they both died on December 29th. Love to everyone. Your cousin, Donna Banks.

Myra was always kind and gracious to me. I saw her not too long ago , I was so surprised to see that she has gone on. These friends are rejoicing together with Jesus : Thelma, Frannie, Doris, Betty and Myra. They have not been separated very long. Because of Jesus we will see them again. May the Holy Spirit give you all much comfort.

I've known Myra since I was a little girl growing up at Immannuel with Karin. She was a special lady and friend, loved by many. She was a great encouragement to me over the years. I can picture my mom rejoicing with her in heaven.
