Myrna S. Fierro, 61 of Amarillo, TX entered the gates of heaven on February 6, 2023.

Rosary will be held at 6:00 PM on Thursday, February 9, 2023, at Boxwell Brothers Funeral Home, Ivy Chapel, 2800 Paramount Blvd. Funeral service will be at 10:00 AM Friday, February 10, 2023, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, 1210 SE 11th Ave., with Father Hector J. Madrigal, presider/homilist, and Father Jose Gomez, con-celebrant. Burial will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery.

Myrna was born on August 20, 1961, to Pete E. and Mary E. Correa in Amarillo, Texas.

Myrna met the love of her life on Friday, February 13, 1981, and got married July 14, 1984, at Our Lady of Guadalupe. Together they raised four children. They were lifelong partners and completely devoted to one another. Myrna was strong in her Catholic faith, ready to help those in need. Always saying “Pray for them and forgive them.”

Myrna graduated from WTSU (now WTA&MU) with her bachelor’s degree in Accounting and a minor in Computer Information Systems. She worked at Corporate Systems for 20 years as a Senior Program Analyst.  Then she worked at Holy Cross Catholic Academy for 7 years. She spent the last 7 years at Maxor Pharmacy as a Staff Accountant, until she started showing symptoms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in October 2021. CJD is a rare rapidly progressive, invariably fatal neurodegenerative disorder.

She is preceded in death by her father, Pete E. Correa.

Myrna is survived by her loving husband Jose/Joe; Sons Andrew S. Fierro and Joshua J. Fierro both of Amarillo; daughters Marissa A. Fierro (Frisco, TX) and Dr. Maria E. Fierro (San Antonio, TX). Mother Mary E. Correa, Sisters Deanah (Julian) Alvarez, Judi Correa, and Peter (Marci) all of Amarillo.
