The fondest memories of Myra were that she was an avid reader and wanted to pursue a career in journalism in her younger years. Myra was so kind, smart, witty, and strong-willed. She enjoyed her tv shows and had a passion for investigative reporting. If she were going to karaoke, you would catch her singing “Little Red Corvette” by Prince, who was one of her all-time favorite artists. Christmas was her favorite holiday because it was about family and friends and showing gratitude. She also enjoyed some good authentic Mexican cuisine as she stayed trying new restaurants. Anyone who met Myra could honestly say that they had met a loyal friend. Some longtime friendships turned into family. If she had it and you needed it, you could count it as yours. Her generosity was unmatched.
