On June 8, 1946 in Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, she married Clarence H. Streeter and he preceded her in death on June 21, 1994. The nickname of Myrt fit her well. She enjoyed a good joke and with a twinkle in her eye didnt mind telling a bad one. Myrt was a casual, relaxed person who got things done without fluster or flurry. She held dear her family, friends, church and community and will be greatly missed by all. A lifelong member of Immaculate Conception Church, Mary Alice also was a graduate of Immaculate Conception School. She served on the sacristan committee, the Altar Rosary Society, the Lady of Fatima Study Club, the Christ Renews His Parish team and the RCIA team, where she helped prospective members in their preparation to join her beloved Church. She also was an active member and past president of the Child Guidance Council. She was named Port Clinton Woman of the Year in 1967. A former physical education major, Mary Alice taught swimming at the city beach, East Harbor State Park and Port Clinton High school.
