She enjoyed Superdawg, Booby's, bridge, square dancing, cooking, bingo and bowling. She was a lover of football, and a Cubs fan to the end.
Myrtle will continue to live through the gifts and memories she gave each one of us. She will be greatly missed.
In place of flowers, the family requests that memorials in Myrtle's name are made to the American Cancer Society at 100 West Palatine Road, Suite 150, Palatine, IL 60067 or call (800) 227-2345 in hopes that some day a cure for cancer will be found.
