(Published in The Crowley Daily Signal on June 29, 1973) Obituary: Held Friday For Loved Teacher Beautiful final tribute was paid to Myrtle Kennedy McBride, 69, loved retired educator, and member of one of Acadia's best-known families, during services held at the chapel of Gossen Funeral Home Friday morning at 10 a.m., with Rev. Jack Tanner, pastor of the First Baptist Church, officiating. Death came suddenly at 8:45 p.m. Wednesday night, Mrs. McBride being stricken while attending services at the Baptist Church. She was rushed to the Rayne-Branch Hospital for emergency aid, but failed to respond. Rev. Tanner provided a most comforting eulogy, reading the Twenty-Third Psalm and stressing hope of the Christian in the death and resurrection of Jesus. He told the family and friends assembled that death is a very real part of life, and while we are never ready for it, we can always be prepared to face this eventuality. Her role in the Church, the warm welcome which she and her sister, Miss Bertha Kennedy, always extended to visitors in their home, and her deep love for Jesus - were all a part of the tribute paid to her, and Rev. Tanner concluded with the thought that each individual's life preaches his or her own funeral service, and that she had made her "Peace with God, and was ready for her great journey".
