Myrtis Stampley Nickelberry, the last survivor of five children born to the late Clabe Stampley, Jr. and the late Rosalee Stampley nee Johnson, entered eternal rest
April 3, 2015, following a full and productive life.
Myrtis graduated from her native Jackson, Mississippi's Lanier High School and attended Jackson State University, where she captivated audiences as a gifted amateur actress too.
The chic retail veteran, whose heyday couture elegance was widely emulated, made groundbreaking achievements in the Memphis retail community. She became the first African American sales associate in 1952 at the downtown Memphis Black and White Department Store, later known as Shainberg's. Myrtis courageously championed Mid-South marketplace integration; she worked tirelessly in various sales, merchandising and training capacities until the store closed permanently in 1982. She also broke racial barriers when directing fashion shows and providing executive image consults during the early years of the Civil Rights Movement at the world famous Memphis Peabody Hotel. Her work history spanning 50 years of performance excellence ended when she retired in 2002 after additional successful, extended employment tenures at upscale retailer Thalhimer's and specialty vendor Babies-R-Us.
Myrtis was an active, compassionate Christian. She was a member of St. Mark Baptist Church Little Rock at the time of her demise. Previously, she was a longtime congregant and former Sanctuary Choir member of Mount Zion Baptist Church-South Parkway, Memphis, where she was also an active Pauline Turnipseed Sunday School Class, Mount Zion Seniors, Robert Johnson Baptist Training Union Class and November Birth Month Fellowship participant until the onset of her illness. She reached out to others discreetly and frequently offered support to the downtrodden, especially to single mothers in need. At one time she passionately facilitated the basic needs of the underserved at Cleveland, Ohio's Second Baptist Church, where her former husband, the late Rev. Frank Love Sr, was pastor.
Besides her parents, Myrtis was predeceased by paternal grandparents Clabe Stampley Sr and Bernice Stampley nee Williams and maternal grandparents Robert Johnson and Francis Johnson nee Maxwell, sisters Letha Stampley Blair (Louis Sr, deceased) and Murlee Stampley Betts (Lucelous Sr, deceased); brothers Luther (Dorothy, deceased) Stampley and Liddell (Anna, deceased) Stampley, along with her beloved firstborn Frank (Sherry Morris) Love Jr. She was also preceded in death by 2 adored nephews, Anthony Stampley and The Rev. Robert Betts, and 2 loving nieces, Gladys (Howard) Hudson and Deborah Scott.
Survivors include: her doting son and primary caregiver, Dr. Odell Nickelberry, SPHR, SHRM-SCP and adoptive son and alternate caregiver, Deacon Preston (Beverly) Johnson Jr, both of Little Rock; one grandchild, Lisa Love of Memphis, and two adoptive grandchildren, Chaniqua Johnson and Makayla Johnson, both of Little Rock; great-grandson, Avion Love, of Memphis; nephews Lucelous Betts Jr of Vero Beach, FL, The Reverend Louis Blair Jr and Larry Blair of Memphis, Gregory Betts of Falling Waters, WV, Luther ''Sonny'' Stampley of South Plainfield, NJ, Kenneth (Janice) Stampley of Grovetown, GA,
Charles Betts of Arlington, VA and Carl Betts of Washington, DC; one niece, Minister Sandra (R.J.) Jones of Teague, TX, along with numerous other relatives and friends.
A visitation will be held from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM Tuesday, April 7, 2015 in the chapel of Roller-Chenal Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held 1:30 PM Wednesday, April 8, 2015, also in the chapel, with Pastor Phillip Pointer, Sr. officiating. Entombment will follow funeral service immediately at Riverwood Memorial Gardens, Maumelle, Arkansas. A memorial reception is scheduled after the entombment at St. Mark Baptist Church, 5722 W. 12th Street, Little Rock, AR. The family also kindly requests tax-deductible contributions to the Myrtis Nickelberry Memorial Scholarship at Edgewood College, the graduate alma mater of her beloved Odell, located at 1000 Edgewood College Drive, Madison, WI 53711-1997. The family expresses profound gratitude to the St. Vincent Longevity Center, Hickory Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility and Home Hospice In-patient Facility, all of Little Rock, along with Dr. Bushra Shaw and Dr. Morgan Sauer for the professional, compassionate care provided during Myrtis' extended illness. Her legacy of faith, unconditional love and outreach will live on in the hearts, minds and behaviors of her loved ones for many years to come.

Dell,
Words cannot describe the pains of my heart that I have not been there by your side throughout all that you have endured. I have prayed and prayed for God to keep you closer than ever in the palm of his hand, bosom of his love and cloak of his peace. Mom Nickelberry was truly one of a kind in life and the ever after. Your love and dedication is a testament to the person she raised you to become. I am sure that she is up in heaven directing the angels and all God's children to stand tall, hold their heads up and sing with more gusto. Of course she has redesigned what everyone is wearing. That's just what a true DIVA does. She is and will always be missed by all. Know that you remain in my thoughts, prayers and deepest parts of my love. Your brother, AL.

Mama,
You were my biggest fan and unwavering supporter! We traveled a long road together, and through it all, you consistently demonstrated faith, courage and resilience. Until we meet again, I will cherish countless memories of our conversations, the frequently hilarious situations prompting them and even the occasional frustrations resulting from them. I will continue to live as you taught: holding my head high, walking quickly with purpose, keeping my hand in God's and maintaining an unshakable preference for decency and order.
Although you now peacefully rest with the Savior, you will always be the queen of my heart! Good night....I will see you in the morning!

Mrs. Nickelberry was a lady of excellence. She demonstrated dignity, elegance, poise, tastefulness and so many other qualities. If one did not know her personally, these many qualities are illustrated by her exceptional son, Odell.
Mrs. Nickelberry only wanted the best for her darling son and Odell only wanted the best for his mother and has proven his love, respect and dedication for years. I have the greatest admiration for you Odell and applaud you for being such a great son to your mom and a friend to so many of us. I am here for you!
