I remember great Auntie Myrnie. She was so fun and full of life. She was truly a Jones which means she possessed great tenacity, intelligence and a great work ethic. I remember meeting someone at a new job and they said they were from Sedro Woolley and I said I had a great aunt Myrtle that lived there. She said "That wouldn't happen to be Myrtle from JC Penney would it?" Well , of course it was. She was so well known and loved. I will miss her and pass my condolences on to her family.
