Myra married her sweetheart from Springer, Jack, in 1939 right out of high school. They farmed and ranched in Springer and raised their family there. She loved her church, her music, dancing with Jack, her family, her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and the many friends she and Jack accumulated over their years of living in different places and traveling. She especially enjoyed their camping and being in the mountains. She will be sorely missed.
The family would especially like to thank for their gentle care of Myra, the nurses and aides at Mission Arch, especially Dan, Dee, Kim, Linda, Lisa, Loraine, Terri, Wanda, Lindsey and Dr. Herrera.
