Wilda Myrle took an active part in the Helena Christian Church, Eastern Star and Helena Chamber of Commerce, among many other activities. Her favorite pastime was quilt making and she made many, giving them to family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, five brothers, and one sister. Surviving are her husband, Robert of Helena; two daughters, Nancy Haberland of Atlanta, Georgia and Linda Kimrey of Austin, Texas; four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
