Myrleen will be fondly remembered by all who were lucky enough to know her.  She had a heart of giving and lived each day always thinking of others. Wherever she lived, she made sure to join and be involved in a church. She was a member of Center Terrace Baptist Church in Canton for 30 years where she served as Church Clerk, director of the senior group, “The Happy Bunch” and sang in the choir. After retirement, she moved to Hattiesburg,MS and joined 38th Avenue Baptist Church in 1999. She was active in Sunday School and the senior group, “Young at Heart”. In 2014 she moved to Long Beach, MS to live with her daughter, Renee and was a member of North Long Beach Baptist Church. In 2017 she moved to Mount Juliet, TN with her daughter, Renee and watched Woodmont Baptist Church in Nashville, TN on television every Sunday.  She loved being a mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. Everyone she met knew she had a sweet spirit and beautiful soul. She wanted to come back to Center Terrace Baptist Church, where her heart was, for one more visit during her lifetime, but was unable to make the journey because of her health. We know she is in our hearts and minds today as we celebrate her life in the church that she loved so much.
