*****

It is with a sad heart that I try to write the obituary of my mother, Myrtle Justice. She was born Sept. 9, 1910 and passed away July 22, 1968, making her stay on earth 57 years, 10 months, and 13 days. She was the daughter of Flem and Vada (Smith) Justice.
She was married to Estil Thacker, the son of Elder W. H. Thacker July 11, 1928. To this union were born 3 daughters: Martha Edith Moore, Huntington, W. Va., Vada Jane Charles, Phyllis, Ky., Emogene Fields, Stone, Ky. My father passed away August 2, 1937.
She later married Julius Worrix and to this union was born one son, William Howard Worrix, Massillon, Ohio.
She leaves 9 grandchildren, a father, 2 brothers and 8 sisters.
Mother joined the Louisa Primitive Baptist Church Oct. 7th and was baptized Oct. 13 1962 by Elder Teddy R. Ball and W. H. Thacker. She lived a true and faithful member until death.
We feel our loss is Heaven's gain.
