Myrtle worked many years for Montgomery Ward in retail sales. After Montgomery Ward, she worked beside her husband, Elton, riding in the truck he drove. When Elton retired from truck driving he opened “The Smoke House”, a bar-b-que restaurant in Scurry, Texas and Myrtle continued to work with her husband in the restaurant. In her spare time, Myrtle enjoyed sewing and doing crafts. She also enjoyed the outdoors, bird watching, farming and tending to her vegetable garden. She was a very independent person. She liked to eat out at Denny’s. She also enjoyed listening to country music especially Waylon Jennings. Myrtle was loved very much and will be greatly missed.
