Myrna was born on February 27, 1933 in Cresson, Texas to Henry and Mabel Wallace. She graduated from Granbury High School and attended Texas Wesleyan College in Fort Worth, where she met her husband of 59 years, Hiram. Her husband, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were the center of her life. She loved attending anything in which they participated. Hiram was an ordained minister in the Central Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church and together they served at many churches over the course of his 62 years in the ministry. For Myrna, her church and her family were her constant focus and she enjoyed the challenge of making parsonages a home for her family as they moved from one church home to another. But one constant was wonderful group of friends also in the ministry that have stayed close for over sixty years. Myrna loved children and demonstrated this love by spending many years teaching Sunday School when her own children were young and by later becoming a Librarian Assistant in various elementary schools for over 10 years. She truly loved books and found great pleasure in encouraging children to share that love of literature. Myrna spent her life loving God, family and the beauty of the earth. She loved trees, flowers, and especially stars. She believed the quiet, brilliance, and order of a night sky served as a reminder of God’s presence.
Myrna is survived by her daughter Jana McKinney (husband Michael) of Euless, daughter Julie Sporisky (husband Jody) of Colleyville, grandson Christopher McKinney (wife Alexis) of Bedford, Grandsons Tyler and Ryan Sporisky of Colleyville Texas and Great Grandsons August and Edwin McKinney of Bedford. She was preceded in death by her husband Hiram Johnson.
