Mary Frances, Class of 1951, lived in Canfield, Ohio with husband Bill
Myers, who is in Briarfield rehab 15 miles away in Youngstown.
CANFIELD - A memorial service was held
Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Boardman-Canfield
Chapel, officiated by Pastor Don Christensen for Mrs. Mary Frances Myers, 82,
who died Saturday morning, with her loving family by her side, after a brief
illness.
She was born Oct. 9, 1933, in Shinnston,
W.Va., a daughter of Robert and Ella Mae (Everson) Miller. After the death of
her mother at a young age, Mary and her siblings were raised by their
grandparents, Cleve and Minnie Everson.
She was a 1951 graduate of Monongah High
School in West Virginia and active in the alumni association. Mary moved to
Akron and went to work for General Tire and Rubber Co. as a secretary. She met
the love of her life, William M. Myers., whom she married on Oct. 31, 1953.
They moved to Canfield in 1972, and became active members of the community and
the Canfield United Methodist Church.
She was a past member of the Sleepy Hollow
Garden Club and the Canfield Ladies Bridge Club. Mary enjoyed traveling,
spending time with her family, friends and neighbors, but her greatest joys
were her husband, children and grandchildren. She loved supporting her
children’s and grandchildren’s activities, and was always their biggest fan.
Mary leaves her husband, William; two sons,
William (Debra) Myers Jr. of Dayton and David Myers of Sarasota, Fla.; her
daughter, Karen (Michal) Naffah of Canfield; her brother, Cleve (Gloria) Miller
of Leesburg, Fla.; four grandchildren, who were the apples of her eye, Amanda
and Matthew Myers of Dayton, Mallory Naffah (Jeffrey) Padurean of Canfield and
Morgan Myers of Sarasota.
She was preceded in death by her parents;
grandparents; and her sister, Martha Frye.
The Myers family would like to thank
Hospice of the Valley, Ed and Diane Reese and the staff at Briarfield Manor for
the kind, loving and compassionate care that was given to Mary during these
last few weeks.
Friends may call today from 9:30 a.m. until
the time of the service at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, the family would
appreciate donations be made to the Hospice House, 9803 Sharrott Road, Poland,
