Annie May Meyer, 87, of Canyon died Sunday, Jan. 25, 2009.
Graveside services will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday in St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery in Canyon. Memorial services will be at 4 p.m. Wednesday in St. Paul Lutheran Church with the Rev. Terry L. Meyer, pastor, officiating. Arrangements are by Brooks Funeral Directors.
Annie May was born Feb. 1, 1921, in Alvord to James West and Annie McDonald Spencer, the eldest of four children. She moved with her family to the Texas Panhandle to what is now Borger, when she was a young child.
Her father was employed by Gulf Oil Corp., but when most of the family assets were lost at the onslaught of the Great Depression, the Spencer family moved to their farm southwest of Canyon. She graduated from Canyon High School in 1938, and attended college at West Texas State Normal College as an industrial arts major.
Before attaining her college degree, she married Erwin Meyer of Canyon in August 1942, who was stationed at Randolph Field Air Force Base during World War II. After the war, they settled on their Canyon farm and were engaged in dry-land farming for many years.
Mrs. Meyer began working for the Randall County Sheriff's Department in 1957 as bookkeeper until her retirement in 1981. She and her husband then moved from Canyon to Lake Meredith where they spent many happy years until failing health necessitated their moving back to Canyon in 2006.
A woman possessed with many talents and abilities, Annie May Meyer was an avid gardener whose lovely gardens contained many varieties of flowers, especially roses, irises, and herbs landscaped with the extensive collection of flint rock, petrified wood and other rocks acquired from many rock-collecting trips.
She was also a talented artist and woodcarver, and an accomplished pianist. She and her husband loved to travel, and her lifelong love of music, art, literature and beauty is a cherished legacy to her children and grandchildren.
Heartfelt thanks and gratitude are extended to the exceptional and loving caregivers of Hospice Care of the Southwest who have been a blessing to Mrs. Meyer and her family.
She was preceded in death by a brother, J.W. Spencer of Odessa; a sister, Helen Nunley of Hereford; and a son-in-law, Don Ray of Channing.
Survivors include her devoted husband of 66 years, Erwin Meyer; three daughters, Janie Ray of Channing, Nancy Mooring and husband Jim of Amarillo and Sarah Beth Jarrett and husband Pat of Canyon; a son, Dr. E. Henry Meyer Jr. and wife Janice of Austin; a sister, Pauline Cummins of Canyon; numerous nieces and nephews; as well as eight grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, who dearly loved their grannie.
The family suggests memorials be to Hospice Care of the Southwest, 1500 S. Coulter St., Suite 3, Amarillo, TX 79106; Don Ray Memorial Art Scholarship Fund, WTAMU Foundation, WTAMU Box 60909, Canyon, TX 79016; or St. Paul Lutheran Church, 2600 Fourth Ave., Canyon, TX 79015.
The family will be at the home of Pat and Sarah Beth Jarrett, 2420 Seventh Ave. in Canyon.
