She was absolutely committed to her family, her faith and all whom needed her joyful heart. Myrna had a keen wit and a dynamic sense of humor which always made her fun to be around.

Her older brother Robert Long preceded her in death. Myrna owned several small businesses in Kansas,
including Flint Hills Antique Mall of Emporia and Keepsakes and Treasures in Derby. She retired two years ago so she could spend more time with her grandchildren.
Myrna was a woman of strong faith and member of Calvary Baptist Church.
