Myrtle B. Hardy, age 88, of Gaylord, died June 18, 2008 at Aspen Ridge Retirement Village.
She was born on July 9, 1919 in Holly. She married the love of her life and best friend, Lloyd J. Hardy, on Dec. 31, 1935. They were married for approximately 71 years and had eight children.
Myrtle was an excellent homemaker and mother and enjoyed her vegetable garden, canning, making homemade breads, buns and delicious cinnamon rolls for the family. She also made her own patterns for her children’s clothes, crocheted doilies, tablecloths, bedspreads and baby sweater sets.
Myrtle and Lloyd moved to Alden after Lloyd’s retirement from General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford. In 1979, they moved to Gaylord. Myrtle had a large collection of dolls that she and Lloyd would search out at garage sales, and she loved designing and making doll clothes for all of them.
