Myrtle Nellie Thurston Gillett Weaver passed away at her home in Tualatin on Sept. 16, 2012. She was born June 28, 1927 to Arvin Ima Thurston and Maude Hazel Cook Thurston in Missoula, Mont. They relocated to Burley, Idaho where she grew up and graduated from Burley High School in 1944. She married Fred Don Gillett in the Salt Lake City, Utah Temple on Sept. 12, 1944 and they were together until his death Sept. 10, 1988. She later married Horace "Dee" Weaver and was widowed a second time when he passed away Nov. 21, 1995. Myrtle was a life long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

She also served as a Primary President and Relief Society President among her many callings. You couldn't find a better mother, grandmother, sister, wife or friend than she. Her sense of humor, infectious laugh and smiling face will be missed by all who knew and loved her. She is survived by her children, Cindy Nebergall, Vickie Brooks, Gregg Gillett, Rhonda Guymon and Ken Gillett; sisters, Velma Beale and Hazel Peterman; 16 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren.
