Myra’s dedication extended beyond her family; she was an active member of Rock Springs Baptist Church, where she embraced her faith with an open heart.

She was affectionately known as "Nanny" to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, a title that reflects the love and warmth she poured into her family life. Her home was always a source of comfort and laughter, filled with her joyous spirit. With a remarkable sense of humor and an infectious laugh, Myra had the ability to bring joy to even the dullest of days. She enjoyed singing and playing the piano. Her musical talents not only entertained but also created cherished memories that will forever echo in the hearts of her loved ones.

She is survived by daughter, Deborah Williams (Tim); sons, Jack Miller (Penny) and John Pettigrew (Temple); five grandchildren, Kim Kelley (Joey), Eric Williams (Leah), Kristen Smith (John) and Drew Miller (Audrey), and Dylan Miller (Madeline); six great-grandchildren, Jenna, Jackson, Micah, Mallory, Maverick and Maddox, and sisters, Delores Brown and Arda Scarborough.
