She will be missed by her dear friend Joanie Moline and piano teacher Peter Scheiner, amongst other countless friends, family members and acquaintances who were blessed to know and interact with her. Myrna touched the lives of many people with her smile and generosity, and maintained consideration of others and sense of humor all the way to the end. Myrna loved playing and listening to all music. She was a musician at heart and dedicated to studying and performing classical and jazz piano. She loved being with her children and grandchildren, having fun with friends, and enjoying the most simple pleasures of life.
