Myra Cospelich Brune, a beloved resident of Ocean Springs for over six decades, passed away at the age of 85.
She was born in Gulfport, MS July 27, 1938, and was a graduate of St. John High School. She was known as "Nan" to many and was a devoted wife, mother, aunt, grandmother and parishioner of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church.
