Everett and Myrtle lived in the Tri-State area until the late 60’s when they moved to Corpus Christi, Texas.

In the Early 1980’s they returned to the Texas Panhandle. Everett was proud of his service to his country but took more pride in his happy 73 years of marriage and his family. Up until the end he maintained his happy personality and tendency to pull a practical joke.

He never backed down from an argument but was prone to switch sides once gaining the upper hand. Everett was a life time member of the VFW, 12th Armored Division Association, and the National Rifle Association. He and Myrtle were active in the Texline First Baptist Church until Myrtle’s health and then his began to fail.

Everett drove the road from Texline to Dalhart daily after moving Myrtle in the nursing home. She was the love of his life and we are happy knowing they have been reunited.
