Mrs. Myrle Walworth Shaw, 88, of Swainsboro passed away Thursday night, November 19, 2015 at Pruitt Health Swainsboro following an extended illness.
Mrs. Shaw was born April 17, 1927 in Powderly Alabama to the late James Walworth and Eddice Watson Walworth. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ben Shaw; brothers, James Walworth, Arnold Walworth, and William Edward Walworth. Mrs. Shaw was one of the Godliest women you could have ever met. She loved the Lord with all of her heart. Mrs. Shaw has been a Christian for 76 years, and she joyed immensely serving the Lord. If you were blessed to have met her, she left a huge mark on your life. She loved telling her life stories, one being how she met her husband, Ben Shaw. After being married, they enjoyed serving the Lord, especially to the missionaries by having them in their home. One of her greatest and biggest joys was her family. Especially her grandson Kyle and her great grandchildren, Kyleigh Anne, Kaybreigh, and Kyson Shaw.
Mrs. Myrle was the sweetest and most dedicated Christian lady to have ever lived. She was a member of Southside Baptist Church since 1979. She loved her church and loved serving in her church by cooking, teaching, singing in the choir, greeting new people, and she was most known for being a prayer warrior with a direct line to God. Mrs. Shaw carried her compassion throughout her community by being a volunteer at the Emanuel Medical Center and the Red Cross. She worked in child care at Southeastern Technical College and the Ogeechee Mental Health. This dear Saint of the Lord will be truly missed.
Survivors include her daughter, Anne Shaw (George) Hostilo of Swainsboro; grandson, Kyle (Krista) Hostilo of Norristown; great grandchildren, Kyleigh Anne Hostilo, Kaybreigh Hostilo, and Kyson Shaw Hostilo all of Norristown; several nieces, nephews and friends.
