Myra loved her grandchildren with all her heart and would often tell them “A bushel and a peck” while hugging them around the neck and also tell them that she “Loved them more than the universe, black hole, worm hole, and beyond to infinity”. Myra was a leader who would often lend her home to women who had been abused, or people who were just down on their luck, and never knew a stranger and treated every one as if they were family. She lived an adventurous life and urged others to live life to the fullest as well. Friends and family of Myra could often be heard using words like vivacious, joyful, protective, stubborn, and inspirational to describe her, as well as her infectious smile and laughter.
