I was very fortunate to know Myralene because I had worked at her doctors office.
whenever I answered the phone and she was on the other end- no matter how she felt, she was always so sweet and pleasant to talk to.
i finally did get to meet her in person and she was just as sweet and pleasant.
always gave a friendly wave and hello to us phone operators.
God bless her!
my condolences to Myralenes family.

This gracious and wonderful lady will be greatly missed by both myself and my husband, “Eddie” who grew up next door to the Tunis family.
She was a true friend to Arvilla through all the years, she called every day to remind her what time the Phillies were on or to just be a comforting voice.
Whenever we visited from our home in Colorado, Myralene always made a special effort to welcome us with her smiles and hugs.  We can’t be there to show our love but are thinking of you and your family.  
Ed and Dyann Enck
Arvilla Enck.
