She was a graduate of St. Marys Memorial High School (Class of 1973). Myra retired from JTDM Hospital, where she worked as a unit secretary for 35 years.

Her favorite pastimes included camping, making all types of crafts, playing cards, scrolling on Facebook and late night phone calls with her girl friends to "catch up" and supporting the St. Marys Roughriders and St. Marys Bands. She maintained friendships with a group of women who met monthly to eat, share laughter and support one another through life's trials and tribulations. More than anything else, she absolutely treasured the time spent with her grandchildren.
