An outspoken and hardworking mother, Bernetta moved to Colorado in 1992, where she continued working and raising her only son, “the love of her life,” Jason “Jake,” Myhre. She taught Jake to be a hardworking, respectful, generous, wonderful man of integrity.
Bernetta “Bunny,” was known for her beautiful smile, her contagious laugh and her kind heart. She would “take the shirt off of her back,” for anyone in need. She enjoyed attending family gatherings, loved being with her new family members. The whole family loved her dearly. “Bunny” was well known, for her famous “Dirt Cake,” that was enjoyed by everyone at every gathering that she attended! She shared a deep love, with her only granddaughter, Kelli Myrhe, whom she adored and cherished.
Jill Harrison and her daughter Jasmine Harrison were very close friends, more like family members in Bunny’s life and they were deeply loved and appreciated. “Bunny” and Jill would go on trips together, and had made a promise to travel to places unknown. “Bunny’s” family is very grateful and thankful to Jill, for being with “Bunny” in times of need, when they could not be with her.
