Myrna June Cusick, 83, daughter of Mickey and Mary June (Mahaney) Finch, was born on November 6, 1940, in Geary, Oklahoma and left us on Thursday, March 14, 2024, at her home in Baron, Oklahoma after a long, brave fight with cancer.

She graduated from Dimmitt High School in Dimmitt, Texas, where she was on the Basketball team that won state.

Myrna lived an interesting and active life until cancer slowed her down 15 years ago. She worked in retail, modeled locally, and became a clothing buyer during her early years in Watonga and Alaska. Myrna enjoyed the positions and loved Alaska. She often talked about going back for a visit. She even earned her pilot license.

Upon her return to Oklahoma, she adopted her daughter, Marla, on December 9th, 1965. They were both blessed to have been brought together and she became a wonderful protector and provider. Myrna worked many jobs while Marla was small and attended SWOSU in her spare time.

In the mid 1970's, she graduated and became the biology teacher at Yukon High School, Yukon, OK. She was known as Mrs. Taylor. Myrna loved her time as a teacher and cherished her students. At the beginning of the 1980's, she went into sales at Xerox. Myrna learned a lot during her time at Xerox and made many friends, however after a few years, she decided to try her hand as a realtor. It was at this time that she met Bob Cusick. They married a brief time later and we welcomed Kelley (Bob's daughter) into the family.

Over the years, they lived in OKC, St. Charles, IL and Rockwall, TX before moving back to Oklahoma.

The years in Texas were great, but when Myrna & Bob moved to Baron, OK in 1994, the best years of her life began. They started ranching and raised registered Angus cattle and many other animals over their 25 years on the ranch. She loved her time there and missed it every day after they moved to Fayetteville, AR.

Myrna was a generous, sweet person, who was always able to see the best in everyone. She loved her family and friends deeply. She was a true prayer warrior and had complete faith in the Lord.

Regardless of her past battles with cancer, we were still caught off guard and completely unprepared for her rapid decline. However, we will be forever grateful for our last moments together.

Myrna was preceded in death by her parents, her in-laws: Warren and Betty Cusick, her brother: Bobby Finch and her beloved husband, Bob Cusick.

She leaves a loving and devoted family to mourn her passing and celebrate her life, they include her daughters: Marla Brummett and husband Mark, Kelley Porterfield and husband Justin, grandchildren: Jacob Brummett (Jennifer), Rachel Brummett, Caleb Brummett, great grandchildren: Roscoe, Jaze and Mabry Jeune, brother and sister-in-law: Carroll and Jenny Finch & many other relatives and friends.

The family would like to thank Dr. Beck (who she called her miracle worker), everyone who helped her at Highlands Oncology, Coleen Bennett for being our rock at the end and all our friends and family for being there for us during this time.
