She also was a businesswoman who renovated and rented apartments in both New Martinsville and Paden City. Mrs. Myer was a talented painter and had been working on a novel at the time of her first serious illness, more than five years ago.

Also, a dedicated, compassionate caregiver, Gary Anderson of New Martinsville, whose many acts of kindness did much to make Mrs. Myer's last years easier. Two friends, Melody and Cecil Deiterich of New Martinsville, who were frequent visitors who added much to the quality of Mrs. Myer's life. Another friend and caregiver, Heather Blake of Paden City did much to help Mrs. Myer.
