Born and raised in Maryland, Myrtle devoted her life to caring for others. After attending nursing school at Wilmington Memorial Hospital, she embarked on a career in nursing that spanned more than 40 years at Christiana Care. Her compassion and dedication touched countless patients and colleagues throughout the decades.

She is survived by her brother, Donald Anthony, four nieces, and one nephew. She was preceded in death by her parents, Alice and Walter Anthony, and her brother, Ben Anthony.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at McCrery & Harra Funeral Home, 3924 Concord Pike, Wilmington, DE 19803, where friends and family are invited to pay their respects beginning at 10:00 a.m. Interment will be private.
