Myers, they lived in Arvada, CO in the same house for 25 years and enjoyed gardening, traveling to different cities calling square and round dances with the Ridge Runners Dancers. She made jewelry with her daughter for many years and was still making jewelry until she became too ill.

One of the things she said to her 57 year old daughter, was “Don’t ever get old”, she laughed and told her it’s a little too late for that.

She had many sayings and quirks about her, the most memorable was her smile.
