Myra L. Risner

Myra L. Risner, 72, of rural Kenton, went to be with Jesus on January 4, 2022 at 5:05 p.m in her daughters home surrounded by her loving husband and family.

She was born in Hardin County, Ohio on April 22, 1949. She is the daughter of the late Myron and Ora (Allen) Harpster. She was preceded in death by a son, Denny Risner and a sister, Linda Stephens.

On November 11, 1966, she married Douglas L. Risner in Monroe, Michigan and he survives.

She is also survived by three children- Doug Risner Jr., Don (Stacy) Risner and Dee (Robert) Young. Grandchildren- Christy, Megan, Jessica, Brandon, Anthony, Devon, Caleb. and Amanda “Bean”. Great grandchildren- Iliy, Katie, Mariah, Mazie, Joey, Addy, Noah, Gracie, Haylee, Rosie, Roman, Ellie and Ryleigh. Also survived by siblings-Sally Cozad, Kay Harpster, Joyce (Dean) Rostorfer, Karen (Bob) Metzger, brothers-in-law: Joe Stephens, Randy (Sheryl) Risner, a sister-in-law Sandy Fay, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Myra worked as a caretaker. She enjoyed gardening, mushroom hunting and reading the BIBLE with husband/love of her life. Most of all, she loved being a grandma! Before a lengthy illness, it was not unusual to find her in the kitchen. We’d all agree that she was the best cook ever. Above all of this, her greatest desire was leading people to Jesus. (Romans 10:9-10)

A private family service will be held by Pastor Terry Robinson at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital 262 Danny Thomas Place Memphis, TN 38105, Our Daily Bread Ministries, PO Box 2222 Grand Rapids, MI 49501-2222 and WTGN Radio Ministries, https://wtgn.org/donate
