Rison, AR Wednesday, October 8, 2025 Aunt Myrtle's late husband was my grandmother's brother, but I got to know them better when I lived next door for a year back around 1980. Aunt Myrtle was a wonderful neighbor and very kind to me.She was an exceptional seamstress and it wasn't unusual to see a UAM cheerleader uniform or two under construction in her sewing room.
May God comfort her loved ones.
