of West Memphis, AR

February 12, 1932 - June 11, 2019

Myra Ann Sullivan passed away peacefully in West Memphis, Arkansas on Tuesday, June 11, 2019 at the age of 87. Myra was born February 12, 1932 in Eupora, Mississippi to parents Walter L. and Mattie E. Scarbrough. Myra later in life met and married Jesse Sullivan whom she was able to spend the next 65 years with until God called him home in 2017.

She was a country girl at heart who enjoyed her family and home as her pastimes included sewing, cooking, baking and gardening.

Myra is survived by her son, Bob Sullivan (Julie) of Marion, Arkansas. She will be deeply missed by two grandchildren; Clark Sullivan (Sara) and Kelley Cook (Jonathan) as well as four great-grandchildren; Sadie Sullivan, Beau Sullivan, Grayson Cook and Hensley Cook.

I am so very sorry to hear about your mom. I didn't know until I talked to Betty today (August 20), or I would have been there.
She will be missed.
Love to you,
Kay

We are so saddened to hear of "Aunt Myra's" passing. Our family had the good fortune to move next door to the Sullivans in 1958; she shared in family events by showing up at the back door every evening with a big "Supper ready?" I can hardly remember a landmark occasion in which she didn't sew, paint, or otherwise leave her indelible mark--she even made the drapes for our living room and gave us our first dog! In short, she helped raise us. She and Jesse made our lives richer every day -- we can't possibly express how much we'll miss her.

I’m so sorry to hear of Myra’s passing. There are thousands of memories flashing through my mind. She was an inspiration to us all with her energy to get the job done. She made many a majorette costume for me and finished her last job for me by hemming my wedding gown. Nothing can fill the void of losing a mother but you can rest in the fact that she’s still taking care of you from heaven.

Bob, I am saddened to see the passing of your mom. I know how we feel at times like these, as we have both lost our fathers. I'm sure this wont be easy for us either.. May the Lord be with you and comfort you, send peace to you. Knowing she has gone to her final resting place at an age we all strive to get to, the Lord had this as being her time and we must accept it.. We've seen a lot in our long friendship and hope to see more, just know that I too feel for your loss..
Your forever friend, gary
