Mary Meda Myers, mother of Dr. David, returned home to her Lord and Savior yesterday evening. She was just a few days shy of 92.
Daughter of Hermie Lee and Ethelyn (Brookshire) Robinson, she was a 6th-generation Phelps Countian born at her family home in Newburg in 1934. Despite living through many hardships and heartbreaks, she raised 4 uniquely impactful children: Dr. William David, Dr. Mary Beth, Bradley Jack, and James Andrew Myers. She was very close with her many grandchildren- in total, she departed this world with almost two dozen grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Guided by her faith, Mary was a lifelong community servant. Many stories as far back as the earliest days of our Licking clinic are told of her making her own home, at any hour of day or night, a place of comfort to patients and their families. Even into her 80s, she was freely babysitting a newborn and toddler who were in-between foster care. What a life of service! May we all continue to carry her legacy of compassion for our neighbors in the Ozarks.
Please join us in prayer and condolences for the Myers family. In lieu of flowers, a donation in her name to a local foundation or non-profit is appreciated.
