Mrs. Myrtle Ricketts, age 84, of Dahlonega, Georgia passed away on Tuesday, January 25, 2022. She was born in Blairsville, Georgia on April 24, 1937 to the late Frank Mulkey and the late Audrey Mulkey.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Tracy and Johnny Brady; and grandson, Stacey Croy, all of Dahlonega. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, friends, and other relatives. 

Funeral services are scheduled for 2:00 PM Friday, January 28, 2022 at Concord Baptist Church. The Rev. Lyman Caldwell, the Rev. Tony Allison, and the Rev. Steven Mulkey will officiate. Myrtle will lie in state at the church from 1:00 PM until the service hour on Friday.
