My family and I moved in next door to Mr. and Mrs. Myers in 1994. They were the sweetest people you could ever meet. Through the years we became close and I thought of Mrs.Myers as a grandmother. We would sit on the swings and talk for hours. We spent some holidays together and some family BBQs. I love her so much she helped me through the loss of my father. The world lost a wonderful lady and Heaven gained a beautiful Angel! I love you Mrs.Myers and will miss you even more now the phone calls are not going to come anymore. Prayers for the rest of the family. Thank you all for sharing her with us! Love, Greg & Michelle Smith Jackie, Hayden, Tanner, Joslyn Kirstie, Gage, Amelia, Amora

My first memory of Ms. Ruby was as my Sunday School teacher at Temple Baptist Church in PN. I could not wrap my young mind around the fact that she had read the entire Bible several times. Also she always called me on my birthday even into my adult years. I will never forget her! Loved growing up with Martha, Rowena and Darwin.

Darwin and Martha I am sorry for your loss. We all grew up together and there are so many memories. I loved your mom and appreciate all she did for our family when my dad was ill and her visits with my mom along the way. Prayers for all the family. May you find comfort in knowing Gods love. Fran (Bowling) and Glenn Heil.

Ruby was so kind to us when we attended Hillcrest Baptist Church. Her sweet smile was one of many blessings we received there. Darwin, we are so sorry for your loss, but we rejoice in her home going. Debbie Stefflen Rooney
