Myrtle E. (Lemanski) Lautner
May 14, 1932 – September 29, 2013
Myrtle E. Lautner, 81 died on September 29, 2013 in West Palm Beach FL, after a 
short illness, surrounded by her family.   "Myrt," as she was affectionately 
known to her many friends and family, began her life in Minden City, Michigan on 
May 14, 1932, as one of two daughters born to Adolf and Helen Lemanski.   As a 
child, Myrt loved working beside her dad on the family farm in the Minden City 
area, which laid the foundation for her life-long love of gardening.  She 
married Roman G. Lautner on January 3, 1956 and spent the early years of 
marriage watching and waving to Roman as he sailed the Great Lakes for the 
Interlake Steamship Company.  During the winter months, Myrt and Roman tended 
the ships at their winter berths in Buffalo, New York.  The family suspects that 
it was the memories of spending the winters on the "iron" ships that hastened 
their departure to the warm winters in Florida after their retirements.  They 
remained at each other's side until the time of her death.

Myrt led a life of service, both professionally and spiritually.  In 1959, she 
moved to Port Huron to begin to raise her family and start her career.  She 
worked as a Secretary at the S.S. Kresge Store in Port Huron, and later went on 
to retire after serving 28 years as office manager for the Saint Clair County's 
Animal Control Division.  Intermingled throughout her professional career, Myrt 
worked as a sales consultant for Vivian Woodward Cosmetics; served her community 
for more than 30 years as a Precinct Supervisor for the City of Port Huron's 
Election Board, and shared her devotion to her Catholic faith as a parishioner 
and Eucharistic minister for St. Christopher's Catholic Church, Marysville, 
Michigan, and Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, West Palm Beach, Florida.  
Beautiful, caring, and charitable, Myrt worried about everybody.  She moved with 
boundless energy and her family fondly remembers that they had to run to keep up 
to her.

Myrt is survived by her husband of 57 years, Roman; her daughters, Ardith (Joe) 
Hayes of Port Huron Michigan, Ralene (James) Carmody of Wyoming Michigan; her 
sons, Mark (Leisa) Lautner, Wake Forest, North Carolina, and Paul (Cindy) 
Lautner of New Ipswich, New Hampshire; her sister Edna Allen, sister-in-laws; 
Margaret Schock, Doris (Ross) Deo, and brother-in-law Clarence (Dorothy) 
Lautner.  Twelve grandchildren; grandsons Dann, Scott and James Hayes; Rory and 
Colin Carmody and Garrett Lautner; granddaughters, Dr. Julie (Bud) Cicorachi and 
Madison, Mckenzie, Caitlyn, Shelby and Brier Lautner; nine great grandchildren 
and numerous nieces and nephews.   Myrt's life was enriched by so many friends, 
but she will be greatly missed by dear friend Lynn Bowman, and her cherished 
Florida friends Susan Monti & Barbara Sinclair.

Visitation will be from 2 to 9 p.m. Friday, October 4, 2013 in the Karrer-
Simpson Funeral Home, Port Huron, Michigan with a rosary being recited at 7 p.m.   
A viewing will also take place at 9 a.m. just prior to the Mass of Resurrection, 
which will be held at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, October 5, 2013 in St. Christopher's 
Catholic Church in Marysville Michigan.  Father Art Baranowski will officiate.  
Myrt's six grandsons will serve as pallbearers, and burial will take place at 
2pm in St. Patrick's Cemetery in Minden Township, Michigan.  Memorials may be 
made to Hospice of Palm Beach County, Florida, or to Blue Water Hospice Home, 
Marysville, Michigan.
