Myrna was born to Roosevelt Fisher and Nema Fisher on November 10th, 1940 in Converse, Louisiana and entered into eternal rest on December 19, 2021 in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Myrna was a resident of Grand Cane, Louisiana and worked as Supervisor at the Mansfield Sewing and Garment Factory for many years. Myrna loved being outside and enjoyed doing tasks such as mowing the yard, planting flowers, tending to the gardens, working in the flowerbeds, burning brush piles, and other yard work. She was a caring person who loved raising her kids, taking care of all animals, checking on her neighbor, riding her golf cart, and doing housework. She could often be found spending time with her grandkids and “Fussing at everyone.” Myrna was a special soul who will be dearly missed.

Myrna was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Melbourne Louie Melton; brothers, Duke Fisher, and R.V. “Cat” Fisher, Jr.; her sisters, Sadie Shirley and “Nig” Ammons, and her step-grandson, Staff Sergeant Richard Lee Vazquez.
