Myra Schroeder-Amundson Obituary
Oshkosh - Myra L. (Schroeder) Amundson, nee Behm, age 91, of Oshkosh, passed away Saturday evening, December 21, 2019, at Aurora Medical Center. Born on August 24, 1928 in Saxeville, Wisconsin, the daughter of Walter and Mabel (Pagel) Behm, she graduated from Neenah High School, Class of 1946.

Many women do noble things but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. Prov 31: vs 29-31

My memories go way back to when we were little kids growing up on W. Lincoln. She was always so nice and constantly in motion. She had so much energy to keep with with all the kids. Then when our houses were sold to the university and we moved to different neighborhoods I did not see her for years. But I ran into her a couple of years ago and knew her immediately as she was still the same attractive woman she always was. My sympathies to Dan, and Jerry and Diane. I only wish I could have been there today to see all of you again.

Myra was one of the nicest ladies we've ever known. She served on our condo board with both Barb and myself. She was a perfectionist and it was a true joy!to be with her. We will miss you dearly Myra!
