It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Waunita “Nita” Ann Myrick, age 77, of Mesa, Arizona. Nita died peacefully at her home on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.

She was born on April 21, 1947, in Flagstaff, Arizona, to Velma Ann Fuller (Curry) and Orin Thomas Fuller. Nita graduated from Gilbert High School in 1965 and pursued a career in cosmetology, obtaining her license soon after. On November 7, 1969, she married her loving husband, Keith Charles Myrick, at the Mesa Arizona Temple. Together, they raised five children in Mesa, Arizona – three daughters and two sons.

Nita will be remembered for her devotion to her family, friends, and church, and her kindness, good nature, and sense of humor. She is survived by her beloved husband, Keith; children: Mindy Brewes, Malisa Cannon, Marcie Hicks, Brandon Myrick, and Mead Myrick; grandchildren: Sierra, Colin, Matthew, and Allie Cannon; Bryton Hicks; and Aubree, Cooper, and Pyper Myrick. Nita is also survived by her brother, George Fuller, and sister, Razetta Skousen. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, John Fuller.
