Myrtle was a great neighbor she always tried to help everybody that she can she always made candy and cookies at Christmas time for the neighbors she will be sadly missed on Concord Road
This little boy will miss this special lady. These were her birthday cupcakes he made for her on her last birthday.
Everyone ought to have the blessing of having a “Myrtle” in their life. There was no sweeter lady in the neighborhood than Mrs. Sill. Each year, when the children were young, they looked forward to her special Halloween treats and she had to take pictures of all who came to her door. Special memories were made for all of the neighborhood children and she never forgot their names!
There are many wonderful visits with her in my memory bank. During those visits, she shared her love for each one of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren with me. There were times I threaded needles for her so she could finish a quilt for a new baby that was joining the family. As soon as she got a photo of the new arrival, she proudly shared it and we would review the family tree! There were times she called me to ask me if I had time to come see her and would apologize for “bothering” me. She needed help to open a stubborn pill bottle, she needed someone to shoot a woodchuck in the box trap by her deck…or she “needed” me to have some blueberries, and their were those times we talked about something she read in “that new version of the Bible” that she didn’t like and wanted to ask me how I felt about that translation! Every conversation included something about both of our church families and what was going on at church. She was never a bother and always a pleasure. I loved her and will miss that smile and the love she shared so freely.
May the love of God and His peace surround each family member and help you to rejoice in her home going. She has relocated from the corner of Concord and Wilson roads to wait for all of of us who love and serve God to join her there in that heavenly home she longed for.
Myrtle was a great lady and I so enjoyed working with her at the Ben Franklin
Store for so many years. She was always kind and gracious, a good worker, an able supervisor and teacher. She will be missed by everyone who knew her!
My sincere sympathy to the Sill Family
Myrtle was always very good to me growing up when my parents would go to visit, she would always have cookies and Ruth toys to keep me entertained. God bless.

I met Myrtle while working at NWB. She brightened my day up every time she would come in. It was truly a privilege to have met her. May she Rest In Peace until Jesus calls her home. Prayers of strength and love to all the family and friends who have lost a true ray of sunshine. God be with you all. ❤️

Myrtle was a kind and gracious loving lady, I always enjoyed visiting with her at Ben Franklin Store. Her smile would light up a room. My heart goes out to each and every member of the family. A great lady who will be greatly missed by all.
Myrtle was one of my mom’s best friends through the years. Our family and the Sills were close. Myrtle was my Sunday School teacher, youth advisor, a chaperone at weekend retreats at Wesley Woods. We had many hayrides and bonfires at their farm. She was always at Rainbow Girls and a wonderful mentor. My parents , she and John, played cards in a card club with the Greishaws, Sammons, Bllileys, and others for several years.
Myrtle was a wonderful Christian woman. I don’t remember ever hearing her talk negatively about anyone. She always had a smile when you walked in the Ben Franklin store.
I will never forget when We lost Bobby. She has now been reunited with he and John. She will be missed- a pillar of the United Methodist Church.
My condolences to Lynn, Calvin, and Ruth.
The summer of 2012 when I was visiting my mother Sally Harwood in Wattsburg we went one day to visit Myrtle. Like John Sill, my father Bob Harwood was a potato farmer. Both couples also met regularly in a card club years ago (Either 500 or pinochle, not sure!) Myrtle served tea and cookies that afternoon, and I took this picture of these dear old friends. Mom entered a nursing home in January 2013 and died 13 months later, so I think this was possibly the last time they saw each other. My sincere sympathy to the Sill family, especially my old friend Lynn.

I had the privilege of working with Myrtle at Ben Franklin. She was a kind and loving woman. She loved her family and her friends and she always had a smile to share. I always got a hug hello and a hug goodbye when she came into the bank to see me. She had a gift of making you feel special but she was the one who was special. I will miss you my friend.
June 24, 2016 at age 94 Myrtle went fishing with us for the first time ever and she caught 2 fish. She reeled then in herself. She was tickled and excited!
Joe & Diann Sabol
One night when we were at her house doing a puzzle, the power went out and she wanted to continue with the puzzle. So we gave Myrtle a flashlight and lite a candle to work on the puzzle. Amazingly she did quit well and thought it was a hoot we were doing the puzzle in the dark.
Joe & Diann Sabol
We loved doing puzzles, playing board games and eating her homemade chocolate chip cookies. We will cherish every minute we had with Myrtle. She was a sweet, funny, caring person. We will miss her a lot!
Joe & Diann Sabol
In honor of Myrtle today we will be doing the white house with the white picket fence puzzle she thought was so beautiful called Home Sweet Home. We will never forget you Myrtle.

Lynn, Calvin, Ruth and families,
I am sorry I could not be there but I am watching online. The Sayers family and the Sill family go way back. Much love to you all. I know your mom is with John and Bobby, and I know my mom and her have already had a wonderful reunion together. She was a wonderful person, a great friend to mom, a wonderful role model for so many. She will be missed so much. I always asked Kevin about her when I talked to him. I hope she got my card in Meadville because I have wonderful memories.

Myrtle was such a loving, gentle soul. She truly lived her Christian faith. It was wonderful to have worked with her at the Ben Franklin Store as I was growing up.
