Myrle Evelyn (Edmonds) Huggins

Myrle Evelyn (Edmonds) Huggins died Sunday, Jan. 6, 2002, in Palomar Hospital,
Escondido, of complications from heart surgery performed on Oct. 26, 2001, at
age 85.

Born June 12, 1916, and a native of Texas, Mrs. Huggins was the daughter of the
late William Virgil Edmonds and Sadie Barnes (Honea) Edmonds. She graduated with
honors from East Texas State University, Commerce, Texas, in 1967. She was a
member of the Registry of Medical Technologists of the American Society of
Clinical Pathologists. She lived in Woodland from 1967 to 1985. She worked for
Woodland Memorial Hospital Clinic, now Woodland Healthcare from 1967 to 1979.
She was with Yolo Diagnostic Labs in Davis from 1979 until 1981, and retired to
San Diego in 1985 after a 28-year career as a registered medical technologist in
Texas and Woodland.

Mrs. Huggins enjoyed many hobbies and was active in Woodland area business and
professional clubs, and in San Diego genealogy, cactus and succulent, stamp,
coin, postcard, and travel clubs. She traveled extensively throughout Texas,
U.S., Mexico and Europe. She loved life and trying new experiences. She even
visited the Casbah in Morocco during her travels to Europe. While traveling in
Mexico, she was in a train crash, where her medical training was invaluable as
she assisted the many injured and dying. She spent a month in Austria on a home
exchange, making many friends and also visiting Germany and Switzerland. She
enjoyed many Elderhostel educational programs throughout the Western United
States and Alaska. On her 80th birthday, she took a chartered helicopter ride
over Washington, D.C. She also had a private tour of the White House, including
the Oval Office and the Executive Office Building.

She is survived by her daughters, Betty Wilson of Marysville, Jay Bibbens of
Temecula, and Ann Edmonds of Turlock; brother, Raymond Edmonds of Redwood City;
seven grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and 17 great-great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Huggins was preceded in death by her brother, Col. Melvin T. Edmonds (USAF)
of San Antonio, Texas.
