She was born to Clarence and Marie Ferguson on Feb. 7, 1920 in their Missouri farmhouse, very near Pittsburg, Kansas. She married Robert W. Myers in 1942. They resided in the Pittsburg,Kansas area until moving to Phoenix in 1954 where she was very active in 4-H both as a child and as a leader. She was a great seamstress making lots of clothes for her daughter and others.

In Phoenix, she became a sales mgr. for a small clothing store where she had many friends. She then worked at Camelback High School where she eventually retired from. She was a

Charter member of Paradise Valley Meth. Church and also attended Camelback Bible Church.

After retiring she and her husband moved to Prescott, AZ where they joined and became active members of Willow Hills Baptist Church. Her husband built a new home for their retirement, of which she was very proud. While there she volunteered at the Chamber of Commerce and the Yavapai Regional Med. Center for many years and served faithfully at her church. She had the gift of hospitality and loved doing for others. When you went to her house to visit, you would be served something to eat. She was loved by everyone. Robert and she celebrated their 70th Ann. this past May. What a legacy she left her family. Mom always said “I’m just a farm girl”.
