Myrtle, I wish I could have said goodbye. You and your family was such a blessing to me and my family. I will never forget all that your family did for mine.  Please say hello to your parents and sister for me. You are loved and will be remembered.

You always will be missed I still can’t believe it but you always in my prayers my kids missed you Grandma Myrtle 🌺we love you and my God bless your soul Amen 🙏 

Myrtle was always willing to help.  When I first volunteered at IDignity, she sat next to me and helped me through the difficult process.   She was so warm and calm around the clients.   When Osceola started holding IDignity events quarterly, she drove to Kissimmee and helped at nearly every event.   What a tremendously giving person!

There are too many memories to share, but these are a few:

~~Without fail, Myrtle would always greet me when she heard me opening my door. Asking me how I’ve been, reminiscing on old stories of my childhood, or reminding me that she’s known me since I was a baby. 
My favorite memory was between her and our other neighbor Margie (who I called my Orlando Grandma)…Each time they both saw me they would spend hours sharing stories about me and jokingly arguing on who knew me longer. It always brought a smile to my heart.

~I remember being so interested in her travels that I did a school project on her life once!

~I have the note she wrote me when I started college still on my fridge.~~

The hallways of Park Lake Towers won’t ever be the same without her. 
I still find myself slowly walking out of my apartment like I would as I waited for her to hear me and come outside to greet me….leaving my door open when I come home as well to give her a chance to come in to chat.

I’m grateful to have known her and have her be a part of my life.
It makes me happy to see all these people leaving her messages and sharing their memories of her.
She will be missed.

I consider myself so lucky to have known Myrtle and to have worked alongside her for so many years at IDignity.  Her stories of her life and her travels inspired me and often made me laugh. Her dedication to helping those in need, always with kindness, was something to aspire to.  You will be missed,  my friend. 

Myrtle was such a quiet, unassuming, humble person I was amazed when I learned where she was going on vacations she took from the volunteer work we shared for many years here in Florida. She was off on backpacking, walking trips to foreign places she still wanted to see and experience.

When she began sharing baby pictures, I learned about the close relationship she had with a  foreign family she was helping adjust to life in America.

And now I am delighted to learn of her early adult life teaching in schools in  many different countries around the world. Bravo, Myrtle! 

She helped and enjoyed people everywhere. It was a joy and a privilege for me that our lives eventually crossed paths.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device


Gonna miss you much Myrtle yet you have left a lasting mark of inspiration on my life and so many others.  Very thankful for your 14 years of dedicated service with IDignity.  Everyone is unique yet you were more so.  I loved witnessing your adventurous spirit, your independence, your faithfulness, and your compassion towards the less fortunate.  I smiled when I found this photo of you and our dear friend Jackie Dowd and smiled, even more, when I thought of you all being reunited in Heaven.

Myrtle always had a smile and was extremely patient, loving and helpful.  I volunteered with Myrtle many times over the past few years and enjoyed seeing her face at different IDignity events.  I was surprised one day to walk past Myrtle seated on a bench near Lake Eola by herself, just soaking the beauty of nature in.  She will be missed.  

I read in a post that "cousins are your first friends in life" and I think that's probably true. They're not a sibling but found at all your family, life gatherings. Such was the case with my cousins and especially for us girl cousins who were all within 1-5 years apart in age. Tonight I sent out an email to inform my surviving cousins as well as their children that one more family member has completed her life journey. Myrtle Lavern was less than a year younger than me and we had memories of a lifetime of events together. 
A graduate of Wheaton College, she became a teacher who taught in private & secular schools around the world ... from Africa to Asia, from Europe to the Mid-East to So. America, always keeping her Christian faith and testimony as a reason for her service.  She remained single and retired in Florida where she volunteered with Christian ministries. I will miss my cousin Myrtle Lavern Amundson but know that she is with the Lord she loved and served.


I was sorry to learn about Myrtle's passing. She was such a passionate supporter of IDignity, and I always admired how compassionate she was with all of our clients. Her resourcefulness at helping procure bits of identification always impressed me. Myrtle was also an enthusiastic worker with the Missionary Computer Fellowship. Her big smile and positive attitude will be missed.  

Myrtle will be missed by her neighbors at Park Lake Towers.

Myrtle was one of the best teachers I ever worked with.  We were reacquainted with our volunteer work with IDignity which she loved and handled so beautifully.  I am so saddened by her death and send condolences to her family.  She was a caring, competent and giving person and will be greatly missed.



My deepest sympathy for Myrtle's passing.  She was one of the most devout Christians I've known and so dedicated to her outreach to others needing the gospel.  She's now with Jesus she loves so much!
