Myrtle Gladys Mayfield, born Dec. 27, 1911, passed away June 29, 1999 at age 87. Myrtle was a Plano resident most of her life and graduated from Plano High School.

She was baptized in White Rock Creek in 1927 and was a member of First Baptist Church, Plano and the Rebekka Lodge of Richardson. Myrtle was well known for her sewing ability and her green thumb.

Myrtle is also predeceased by her parents, Annie and Elrod Brinkley, son Lee Everette Mayfield, daughter Peggy Jo Shanks and son-in-law, James C. Shanks.
