The Bureau of Indian Affairs would take the majority of Myrna's career life. She would serve the Indian people in that capacity for 26 years. Upon retirement, she served as part-time employee for St. Charles Mission School and then later at Plenty Coups High School. She served God as well by becoming an active member in the St. Charles Parish Council. A role she carried for many years.
In life, Myrna was a social butterfly. She loved people for people. No conversation bored Myrna and the company was always welcomed. Sporting events such basketball and horse races were among her favorite to attend. Spectating cultural events such as powwows was also a favorite. She loved Bingo, whether it be church or Billings, Bingo was her game. In summer, she loved to picnic. All the family would come and enjoy the summer picnics where she would watch volleyball games and water fights and catch up with members of the family. The church enjoyed her company too every Sunday mass. Her favorite masses were Christmas and Easter. Yet what she loved most of all was cooking. She loved cooking, but not for cooking sake. Because she was a social butterfly, after all. Myrna cooked to bring the people for conversation. Among the things she cooked, she loved to make banana bread and pie. For Myrna, cooking was her way of being thankful for the company and conversation. To Tana Christian, the family thanks you for your friendship, your company, and your prayers. The hospital would have been boring without your conversation.
Myrna leaves behind a husband, Bruce Sr.; two children, Kimberly Eileen Tusi (Tafuna Tusi) and Bruce Damon Spotted Bear Jr. Bruce and Myrna also helped raise Print Spotted Bear Sr. (nephew), Colan Snow (nephew), Janel Spotted Bear (niece), Little Crow Baker (nephew) and Jan Baker (niece). Myrna's grandchildren: Tusi (Savaya), Tafuna Damon, Chris, Sonya, Setu, Tausilia, Taumata, Eli, Marcus, Terae, and Kimmy. She was also blessed to know her great-grandchildren: Karma, Sivale, Tinei and Ryson.
Myrna is survived by her brothers, Vern Hawley, Donald Horn, Buddy Horn, Gilbert Jr., Charlie, Curtis, Walter and Kermit; as well as her sisters, Willawa Murdock and Margaret Sampson. Myrna's adopted brothers are Channis, Norman, Edward Jr., and her adopted sisters are Geneva, Carol, Jolene, Valene and Flo Spotted Bear. She is preceded in death by her grandparents George and Mable Bradley, Joann Bradley, David Bradley, Elizabeth (Witchy), Gilbert Bradley; Uncle Rufus Bradley; and her adopted mother Josephine Whiteman of Pryor.
Myrna never had trouble making new friends. She never had trouble sharing a smile, a laugh or a hug. Heaven will enjoy all these things, as we did. In fact, Myrna is probably sharing her stories right now and catching up with old and new friends, as well as family that left before her. Perhaps, she is telling them all just how "excellent" and "gorgeous" life was here.
Visitation will be from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday at the Dahl Funeral Chapel. Rosary will be 6 p.m. Thursday, and Funeral Services at 1 p.m. Friday, July 11, both at St. Charles Mission in Pryor. Memories may be shared with the family at www.dahlfuneralchapel.com.
