My heart is so sad right know to hear of Myrna passing sway. She was so wonderful to me these past few years . Also checking to see how is was found. Even with all the medical stuff she was dealing with she stopped in at the gaming place to check on meat work. She was a wonderful friend. . May her memory always be for a blessing. She was so proud of her amazing family.

I will always remember you, Myrna, for your guidance by example. You cared and loved without judgement. You were always generous and kind. You made everyone feel welcome in your world. You were a second Mom to me. I will miss you, but I will remember all of the lifelong lessons that I learned from you.

I had the pleasure of working with Myrna for many years. She was kind, funny, and endlessly supportive. I will always cherish my memories of her. My sincere condolences to her family – she spoke of you all often and fondly.

I met Myrna at FCI 26 years ago, and we became close through the years. We would sit for hours talking about our families and life in general. Even after she retired and I left FCI we kept in touch. Lovely and classy lady, may she rest in peace.

Aunt Myrna was not my real aunt but that’s what she was called through my childhood . She was my next door neighbor when I grew up in Skokie. I loved her like my other mother and will miss seeing her on my annual trip to Chicago.
I know she is resting peacefully now.

Myrna and I both worked @FCI for 25+ years and we would drive to Glenview together often. I enjoyed talking to her about her family & Grandchildren and my family, as well. She enjoyed planning our office parties and did a superb job. I loved her homemade coleslaw and always admired her gorgeous nails! She will be missed but Memories Eternal 🙏❤️✡️

Our families shared many good times and cherished memories together with “Auntie Myrna”. I can still hear her amazing laugh and see her beautiful smile!

Sending hugs and lots of love to Lisa, Bobby and their families.

Robert, I’m very sorry for your great loss. There is NO love like a mother’s love! May her memory be a blessing. I hope you can get to the class reunion. Old friends are special. Maybe I’ll see you at another class reunion. I can’t make this one from England.
Kind regards, Toni Verschoore Quinnell

There isn’t one memory – there are hundreds for sure – we were “sisters” from different mothers – although Sylvia – was like a surrogate mother. It hurts a lot to know we won’t be sharing what’s happening in our lives and I will miss you, Myrna, so very much…but you will always be in my heart and our memories will help to keep me smiling. I am better because I knew you!

Our mother’s were pregnant with us at the same time-I was born on June 5, 1939 & Myrna on August 1, 1939.
We have been friends for almost 85 years & and her parents were friends with my parents.
Myrna was a kind and loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend .
May the fond and loving memories of Myrna. by her family and friends bring some consolation during this difficult time.
May Her Memory Be A Blessing.
