Beloved mother of Edith (Thomas) McGregory; Loving grandmother of Sara McGregory, Matt (Erika) McGregory and Derek Baldwin (Cristina Rico). Devoted great- grandmother of Eli McGregory and Weston McGregory.
Myrah was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis Baldwin and parents, William and Marion Jones.
Known for her love of flamingoes and her signature pink and purple hair, Myrah was never one to blend in with the crowd. Her quick wit and sharp sense of humor-sometimes lovingly described as a "smart mouth"-brought laughter and delight to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Myrah loved to travel and embraced every opportunity to see new places and meet new people. Some of her happiest days were spent enjoying long lunches with friends, sharing stories, and creating memories that will live on in the hearts of many.
Beyond her adventures and her unmistakable style, Myrah was most proud of her family. As a Devoted grandmother and great-grandmother, she poured her love into the generations that followed her, leaving behind a legacy of strength, resilience, and joy.
Family and friends will gather to celebrate Myrah's remarkable life Friday September twenty- sixth from five pm until seven pm with a short service to follow at Dieterle Memorial Home, 1120 South Broadway, Montgomery, IL 60538. In her honor, guests are encouraged to wear a touch of pink or purple-colors she adored and wore so well.
"She lived loudly, loved fiercely, and left us all with a smile."
