Besides her parents she was predeceased by her brother, Leonard Myers.
Marye worked for many years as a clerical office administrator for Drs. Rooney (periodontist) and Lanteigne (dentist) until her retirement in 2000.
She enjoyed gardening and the great outdoors, reading, cooking, spending much time with her family,
and church-related activities (especially singing in the choir). She was well known for her servant-heart,
jovial spirit and Christian faith.
