Myra Cospelich Brune, a beloved resident of Ocean Springs for over six decades, passed away at the age of 85.

She was born in Gulfport, MS July 27, 1938, and was a graduate of St. John High School. She was known as "Nan" to many and was a devoted wife, mother, aunt, grandmother and parishioner of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. She, with her husband, Skinny, raised eight children, and they were her world. She was so proud of them, and always boasted about her thirteen smart, wonderful grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
