I just learnt about Myra passing. She was a wonderful NP at medical care. She told me her days off and I made sure I didn't walk in on Tuesdays and Thursdays I believe it was. She shared many stories with me about nursing. I can hear her as a delivery nurse saying "come on 1 more push and you will be holding a beautiful baby," she could encourage you to keep going. I miss her and medical care will never have another Myra Hale. Prayers for her family. I know she loved them very much and was very proud of her daughter's.

Myra was my nurse practitioner. I loved her so dearly she prayed with me as she ministered to my health also Myra was one of a kind she told me that she would be back to work in the fall so I called yesterday to see if she had went back so I could make an appointment with her and the receptionist told me that she had passed away a couple of weeks ago. I have cried and cried ever since. I just want everybody to know that this was a wonderful wonderful lady that I will never forget the stories of her children that we shared. She left so much. Thank you Myra for being there when I always needed you God bless
Myra was my nurse when my daughter came into the world. It was and still is the greatest day of my life. She was an absolute wonderful nurse but also a caring person. In the 2 days I was in the hospital and had her as my caregiver, I felt I had made a lifelong friend. She was absolutely incredible with people. I am very sorry her life ended sooner than we hope but she did extra good with the years she had!
Dear Myra, there was an immediate hole in my heart when I learned of your passing. You were MY nurse and always so loving and caring. You were always so understanding and patient. Hugging you was so special. I will remember you always, especially when you wore cowboy boots at Medical Care LLC.
As a patient I received excellent care. Myra walked for me the 4th mile. I later also got to know her as a personal friend and reali?ed what an unique and wonderful human being she was. She will always have a part of my heart. May the family find console in the wonderful memories she left behind.
I am so sorry my sweet, Caroline. You are in my thoughts and prayers always. Sending you a big big hug.
Whitney-I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family

Myra will be missed by many. She had such a beautiful, kind, loving soul! Sending my thoughts and prayers to her family.
Caroline,
When Nick text me yesterday to tell me your precious mama had passed, my heart broke. Her positive outlook and sweet soul left such an impression on me and I will forever remember her smile. I was much older when I experienced being a caregiver and then the loss of my mom at the beginning of the year and as hard as it has been, it’s hard for me to imagine the depth of the pain you and Whitney are experiencing. I know you have friends and family to lean on but please get in touch if you ever want to talk. And know that you, Whitney, and the rest of your family are in my prayers. Sending you love and hugs. -Kim Ferrell
I worked in L&as for many with Myra. She was such a good nurse. My prayers go out to her daughters Whitney and Caroline, they were her life. And to your family my sympathy and prayers. Rest In Peace Myra

God's minister on earth, now his daughter is home. Peace to all the family knowing you all will see her again.
I’m heartbroken ?.
Myra helped me deliver and bring my son Cameron into this world in 2006.
I wanted to try to locate her and reach out to her over the years and tell her how thankful I am for her and how she helped me. I seen a post on Facebook through a mutual friend that she was tagged in. Finally, I found a way to contact her; I immediately sent her a message on FB to tell her how much she meant to me and that I will never forget her.. unfortunately, she didn’t see my message in time.
Life is too short. Tell people what they mean to you now !!
Rest In Peace sweet Myra …. ?
I will miss you

Words can not express how we feel. Myra was an example to all of us to live to be better, care more, bring cheer, and comfort those in need. Love you Myra, though my tears are because I will miss you terribly, I smile when I think of you.
Dear Myra, Heaven has gained an Angel. I so appreciate your friendship and that great big warm smile that was as infectious as your wonderful laugh. I know how you loved football and would always comment on games to me through Facebook. You will be sorely missed here but you are in a better place. I am praying for comfort for your family. Keep pulling for those Vols up in Heaven!
Whitney, Caroline and family, my prayers are with you. Myra touched and blessed so many peoples life including mine. You girls have your mothers spirit and heart of love. Blessed to have called her my friend.
I worked with Myra for many years at JCMC. She was an amazing woman and nurse. May God comfort this family.

Thoughts and prayers are sent to all of Myra’s loving family and friends! I hadn’t seen Myra in many years even though we graduated high school together and are distant cousins. However through Facebook I was able to get a glimpse into the joyful life that she lived with her beautiful daughters, family and friends! Rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus, sweet Myra!
