Myra Jo Retzloff's Obituary
Surrounded by her loving family, Myra Jo Retzloff of Tacoma Washington, went to be with her Savior Jesus on August 3, 2020. She was 83.
Born in Tacoma, Washington on February 16, 1937, she was the youngest daughter of Pearl and John Bruner. She attended Fife High School.
Myra met and fell in love with William Retzloff and they were married October 5, 1953. Together they built a home together in which they have lived in to this day. They have three loving children, Brian, Keri and Scott. Myra enjoyed being active in her children’s activities, volunteering at their school, coaching baseball, basketball and numerous other activities.
Myra was a talented artist who painted wonderful landscapes and seascapes. When her hands could no longer paint she took to using pencils and pens. Her favorite colors were fuchsia and purple. Myra and Bill were active in their church, Good Shepard Lutheran and had many lifelong friends that were very dear to them. She will always be remembered as the sweetest kindest woman we had the privilege to grow up with. We are so thankful that she is with her Lord and Savior. She has blessed our entire family and friends. We will miss her dearly.
