Myrna was born on October 16, 1941, in McEwen, Tennessee, to Richard Haskell Hutcheson and Enza Pearl Hutcheson. Myrna and her husband William “Bill” served as missionaries to Cochabamba, Bolivia for 20 years. They also planted First Assembly of God in Waverly, Tennessee where they pastored from 1978-1985.

Myrna is survived by her 6 children, William D. Stewart (Sonita), Richard C. Stewart (Hope), Debra L. Mixson (Jeffrey), Brenda J. Hoag (David), Robert A. Stewart, and Jonathan R.

Myrna was known for her strong faith in the Lord and love for her family. She loved doing puzzles, playing Yahtzee, her competitiveness, baking, and serving her family in any way possible. She loved talking about her childhood on the farm and going to the hollow. She had many stories to tell about her and Bill’s mission work to Bolivia. Many souls were saved because of their willingness to follow God’s calling on their lives.
