Shirley M. Mynatt

She leaves behind her devoted husband, Walter Glen Mynatt; her two sons, Kevin Glen and his wife, Amy Marie and Dr. Michael Lawrence and his wife, Leslie Diane; and their two daughters, Haley Elizabeth and Lauren Hope.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Bessie M. and Oscar W. Raine.

Shirley and Walt lived fifty-eight years together in a happy, blessed marriage, having married December 29, 1961. Shirley worked for most of her career at Midwestern Seminary, and devoted her free time to attending the many events, concerts, plays, musicals and games in which her two sons participated. She also worked with hundreds of young men and women in the youth groups at the two churches they attended, Northgate Baptist Church and First Baptist Church, North Kansas City. Shirley and Walt also spent years working as clowns with the outreach ministry at both First Baptist, NKC, and Pleasant Valley Baptist Church.

In lieu of flowers the family requests, contributions be made to Hillcrest Baptist Church, 500 Alberta Street, Enterprise, AL 36330, where Michael is the Senior Pastor. (www.hbce.org)
