She was preceded in death by her parents, James Willie Wilson and Mary Lee Wilson; first husband, Sidney Satterwhite; her second husband, William Cherkas; her daughters, Barbara Currin and Sandra Newton; and a grandson, Westley Satterwhite.
Myrtle lived and raised her children in Stovall, NC in a home filled with love and warmth for all whom entered the threshold. During her life, she was a hardworking woman, former co-owner of J & S Grocery in Stovall, C.N.A., and most of all, a loving mother and grandmother. She thoroughly enjoyed gardening of all types but especially her flowers.

Satterwhite (Janice); her grandchildren, Jeanie Middleton, Kristie Hill (Michael), Kelly Silivanch, Ashley Valdes (Carlos), Dylan Newton (Heather), Brittany Currin, and Justin Newton; her 13 beautiful great grandchildren, 3 precious great, great grandchildren and her brother, Larry Wilson and his wife, Trudy.

The family wants to extend a special loving thanks to Tomeko Alley for her care and assistance with visits, phone calls, and delivering special "sweets" over the last year.
