Note by Carolyn Thomas Sorensen:
Officiating Myra's celebration of life was Rev. Bernard Ritchea, of Edna, Texas.
Pallbearers were Myra's sons; Michael Dragoo, Billy Dragoo, Darrell Dragoo; and grandson, Joshua Wilson; Totty Shulte and Clarence janota.
Myra was a beautiful and vibrant person. She loved & cherished her family and could not do enough for them. Myra loved her husband and sons, but I think one of her greatest joys was when she became a grandmother!
God bless you Myra.
