Myrtle Floyd Glass
Myrtle Gertrude Floyd Glass, 96, died Thursday, October 18, 2012 in Charlotte, NC.

In addition to her parents Myrtle was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, James Abraham Glass, a sister, Elsie Mae Weaver, and an infant brother.
She is survived by her daughter, Patricia Anne Glass Browning of Charlotte, NC; her son James Errol Glass and his wife Gail, of Forest, VA; her grandchildren: Heather Anne Ratliff and her husband Clint, of Mt.

Floyd and his wife, Elaine, of Lynchburg.
A long-time member of First Baptist Church of Lynchburg, Myrtle was a person of great warmth, and had a wonderful smile and sense of humor. Her greatest gift was her devotion as a wife and mother. She created beauty with her gift for floral arranging and by her talent as a painter. Painting was a talent she fully developed in her later years and it brought her many hours of joy and many objects of beauty to those she loved.
