Obituary for MYRTLE FREELAND WILLIAMS
Myrtle Helen Freeland-Williams graced the lives of the late Oliver Freeland and Lillian (Plater) Freeland, on August 7, 1932, as the sixth of their seven children. Born in Calvert County, she attended public schools, graduating from Brooks High School and furthered her education at Morgan State University for two years.
Myrtle was raised in the church and became a member of Plum Point United Methodist Church where her father, Oliver Freeland, was a pianist.
Myrtle was a smart, knowledgeable, and intelligent woman. She reminds us all of having the characteristics of "Cleopatra" with her surpassing beauty, wit, charm, and "sweetness in the tone of her voice".
Myrtle has always resided in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. She worked as a family counselor for twenty-two years for various cemetery companies and as an Independent Insurance Agent. She always had the mindset and ambitious to be a business owner therefore she became the President/CEO of the ACE Marker Business. Myrtle assisted families throughout the community with grave markers.
Myrtle proved to be a devoted and generous aunt, cousin, and friend to many.
Without a doubt she was a "people person". The doors to her heart and home were always open to any and every one. She lived a selfless life. She enjoyed entertaining and spending quality time with family and friends. She cherished and loved life-long friend Vernelle Brown and enjoyed their work and social relationship to include niece Lillian Wills often known as the three musketeers.
Our mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend Myrtle will be sorely missed. On Tuesday, February 10, 2015, her heavenly Father said, "Enough! Come!" She responded, "Lord, I'm ready!"
