Barbara, Bill and Joan, this evening we were going through family pictures and of course I have a number of pictures of Barbara. Thinking of your Mom, I ran a search and find that Myrtle had passed. I am indeed saddened to learn of your loss. A few years ago I stopped by the farm and was lucky enough to find her at home. She welcomed me in and we had a long enjoyable visit. This was after your Dad had passed. She even showed me Paul's airplane (J3 like) and recalled some of our flights together. Again, though not timely, please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Hope you are all doing well. Bruce Hoover [email protected]
Working the past three years for Cokesbury has given me an even greater appreciation for the work Myrtle did throughout her life for Christian Education. She was a wonderful woman to work with on the South Central District Committee on Ministry when then I served as a pastor. My prayers are with you, her family, and all who miss her. May the testament of her faith shown throughout her life strengthen and comfort you all. - Bob Dean

Joan and family members, Our hearts are sad at hearing of Myrtle's death. In 1966 I was transferred to the Iowa Conference of the United Methodist Church and it wasn't long before I began to learn about the work Myrtle was doing for our denomination. She was the model for hundreds if not more Sunday school teachers through her writing and teaching in laboratory schools across the Iowa Conference. Over the years as a director for many of these schools and recruiting faculty Myrtle was always my first choice when it came to selecting staff. Her commitment to teaching others was a testimony to her commitment to helping teachers in Sunday school bring God's love to their students. We will miss her kind words of advice and counsel.

To have known Myrtle is to be truly blessed.
