Myrna was born in Concord, Texas, to the late William Greenlee Eddins and Willie Mae (Haynie) Eddins. She grew up in Concord, where she had a special relationship with her close cousins. Myrna graduated from Centerville High School and had been a volleyball player.
Myrna lived the earlier half of her adult life in Houston, and was employed at Brown and Root. She worked many years as a personnel records administrator, until she took medical retirement in 1986.
Myrna was introduced to Joe Ray Brown from Thornton through mutual friends and they were married in December 1983. They lived in Conroe until moving back to the Thornton area, where they were loving partners, and she was a faithful caregiver.
Myrna became a part of the Oletha and Old Union communities and made many friends. She was always involved with the grandchildren, attending all of their school games and events. She also stayed greatly involved in the lives of her niece, great-nephews and great-great-nieces.
Myrna was a member of the Central Baptist Church of Thornton. She was an active member of the choir, and enjoyed attending Bible classes and other church activities. Myrna had a fine reputation for her baking, with many people loving "Miss Myrna's Buttermilk Pie" which she baked regularly for her family's restaurant, The Branding Iron in Marquez, and for church gatherings. Her family also loved these as well as her chocolate meringue pies. She was a generous person, with a servant's heart, whether giving gifts or other acts of kindness in her community.
Myrna was preceded in death by an infant brother, William; twin sister at childbirth, Verna Joy; sister, Mary Jo Rougeou; brother, Hubert Stanley Eddins; close cousin, Rita Payne; and her stepson, Brandon Brown.
Survivors include her husband, Joe Ray Brown, of Thornton; niece, Deborah Simecek and her husband, Larry, of Deer Park; great-nephews, Nathan Simecek, of Deer Park and his daughter, Riley and Ansley; Micah Simecek and wife, Meghan, of Pearland, and daughter Macie; and Philip Simecek, of Deer Park; stepson, Steve Brown and his wife, Janelle, of Mexia; granddaughters, Brittany Brown, of Tyler, and Kathleen Vincent and her husband, Jason, of Groesbeck; grandsons, Keith Brown, of Groesbeck, and Clint Brown, of Waco; and great-grandsons, Braden Ramirez and Gage Vincent, of Groesbeck; and close cousins, Peggy Bell and Linda Noey.
