She was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on Aug. 15, 1936 to the late William F. and Caroline (Maggs) Miller. Beloved mother, wife, and fabulous grandmother, Myrna is missed by her survivors, close friends, and community.

Her close friends served as a second family and were a constant presence in her life.
