Background
Max and Myrtle were charter members of St. Matthews United Methodist Church in Memphis
since the early 1950s, and in later years helped to establish the Meeks Center there, where
missions volunteers from all over the country could provide for Memphians in need. Max and
Myrtle worked together in Methodist-sponsored natural disaster response (lots of downed trees
removed from storm-ravaged localities) and in mission projects all over the U.S. and in many
other countries, through the Volunteers in Missions (VIM) program of UMCOR (the United
Methodist Committee on Relief). Their projects were located in Estonia and Cuba, three times
each, and Palestine, and other spots in North American and the Caribbean. They generously gave
of their own funds to take their children and grandchildren along on those trips to experience the
real world around them. Contribute to The United Methodist Church - Global Ministries
