In Memory OfMyrna Lea Davis

December 6, 1957April 10, 2017

A Nurse's Prayer

When I falter, give me courage.

When I tire, renew my strength.

When I weaken because I'm human,

Inspire me on to greater length,

If doctors and patients become

demanding, and days are too

short for all my duty,

Help me remember I chose to

serve, to do so with grace, and

spiritual beauty. In humility

Lord, I labor long hours-

and though I sometimes may fret;

My mission is mercy--abide with me,

that I may never forget.

Myrna was born on December 6, 1957 in Sidney to Loyd and Myrl (Lyon) Salsbury. Being half Irish and half Norwegian, she inherited the best of both, with just enough temper and stubbornness to keep life interes ng. She grew up in the Girard community and a ended East Lone Bu e School for a couple of years, then went to Fairview School where she graduated valedictorian in 1976.

From the me she was li le, Myrna always wanted to be a nurse. She received her RN degree from Havre and Great Falls, and then returned to Sidney to work. A er ten years at the hospital, she transferred to Richland Homes, now the Sidney Health Center Extended Care Facility, where she was currently working. She loved the pa ents and treasured her many friends and colleagues in the medical profession.

Myrna met the love of her life, Randy Davis of Wheatland, WY in 1993. They were married at Pella Lutheran Church on May 16, 1998 and were inseparable, enjoying the same mutual friends and ac vi es. Unfortunately, they had no children, but lovingly cared for their four legged babies.

Myrna loved to cook and bake, generously sharing with family and friends. She was even The Roundup’s Cook of the Month which created a lot of good natured, and maybe a bit jealous, teasing. She and Randy grew a

huge garden and canning was a yearly ritual. Her favorite part of the yard was her owers. The Friday a ernoon “cra club” came up with many original ideas over the years.

Myrna was the rst female Exalted Ruler of the Sidney Elks Lodge and remained a dedicated, hardworking member. She made many fast friends locally and throughout the state.

Fun with family and friends was always important to Myrna and many weekends were enjoyed at Tobacco Gardens in her earlier years. Her home was the se ng for fabulous family feasts and friends were always welcome.

Myrna died early Monday morning, April 10, 2017 at the Sidney Health Center.

Myrna is survived by her loving husband Randy; brother, Marlo (Piker) Salsbury; sisters-in-law, Pam Kilen, Karen (Butch) Caress, Kim (Tony) Nesius, Kerri Hi , Paula Wilson, Kathleen Terry and Becky Davis; brothers-in-law, Jerry Whiteman, Gary (Jennifer) Davis, Don Davis, Geno (Carol) Davis, Jerry (Donna) Davis, Sidney Davis and John (Chucky) Davis; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Myrna was predeceased by her parents, her brother Marvin Kilen and sister Janis Whiteman.
