Myrna grew up in Kosciusko, and her favorite pastime was playing with Darlene Prewitt as a child. She remembered making mudcakes and cooking elderberries on an old oil heater. This friendship lasted into adulthood, and their children became the best of friends as well. Another fond memory of hers would be visiting her Aunt Lila and Uncle Calvin in the summertime.

Anyone who knew Myrna knew she loved to sing. She enjoyed singing for Jesus the most. Her first church was the Methodist Church on Aponaug Rd. She loved when the children would get to go to the front of the church and sing for the congregation. Myrna was a member of the Church of God of Prophecy. She continued with that love for God to her last breath. She lived her life for Christ. She even went to the extreme of flying in a two-seater plane to toss out bible tracks across the Gulf Coast.

She moved to New Orleans in the 50’s and met a man named Herbert Belsom. She married him on July 11, 1958; she acquired a son and had 3 little girls during this marriage. She learned how to drive a car in 1958. She went to National Beauty College and received her cosmetology license. After several years she moved back to Kosciusko with her little girls. She continued to work hard and take care of her girls.

In 1997 Myrna was diagnosed with cancer. She went through treatments and a couple of surgeries. She had been in remission since that day.

Her favorite season was not Summer because it was hot, but she did enjoy cutting grass and having yard sales during this time.
