Myrtle Melcina Duncan

Myrtle Melcina Green Duncan passed from this life in her home on Sunday 
morning, June 9, 2002 and went to be with our Heavenly Father.

She was born on may 25, 1910 in Oklahoma City to Florence and Albert J. 
Green.  She was raised in Muskogee and Pawhuska and finished her last year 
of school in Hominy High School.

She met Donald Ira Duncan in Hominy and they were married on June 23, 1928 
by Rev. R. E. Cornelius, Pastor of First Baptist Church.  Their witnesses 
were Helen Kitchel and George Blackwood.  To this union were born six 
children; four sons and two daughters; Donald, Cecil, Jerry, Ray, Joyce 
and Bernice.

Myrtle was preceded in death by her parents, three siblings, Helen, Hazel, 
and Clarence, she being the eldest of four children.  Also preceding her 
in death was her second son, Cecil Morris Duncan.

She was a member of First Baptist Church and taught a girl's Sunday School 
class in previous years.

She was a very hard working Mother, a wonderful cook, and an excellent 
seamstress and though we would not wish her back, those who loved her will 
miss her.

She is survived by sons Donald, of Portland, OR, Jerry of nampa, ID, Ray 
of Mustang, OK, daughters Joyce Whitehorn of Hominy, and Bernice Yonlick 
of Bellingham, WA; there are also 12 grandchildren and 17 great 
grandchildren.

Services for Myrtle Duncan were held Wed. June 12, 2002 at the First 
Baptist Church in Hominy.  Officiating services was Rev. Mark Wright.  
Serving as Casket Bearers were Dudley Whitehorn, Anthony Whitehorn, Doug 
Duncan, Mike Dunlap, Randy Powell, and nappy Cowan.  Gerald Lay served as 
Honorary Casket Escort.  Gerry Lay, Barbara Mayo, and great grandson Mason 
Whitehorn Powell sang at the services, accompanied by Theresa Cowan.  The 
family entrusted Powell Funeral Home with service arrangements.
