She loved nature, especially hummingbirds, deer, and cats, and found joy in the beauty and companionship they brought.

Myra will be remembered for the warmth she extended so naturally to others and for the gracious spirit that made people feel at home in her presence. She loved nature, especially hummingbirds, deer, and cats, and found joy in the beauty and companionship they brought. She was also an avid cribbage player, a pastime that reflected both her lively mind and her enjoyment of time shared with others. Caring for people was one of the defining gifts of her life. She was an amazing host, welcoming and warm to everyone she met, and her generosity of heart left a lasting impression on family and friends alike.
