Born February 5, 1934, Great Falls, Montana to Miron "Mike" & Helen Thill. Died September 23, 2005 at her home in Seattle, Washington surrounded by her family and friends. Myra graduated from Roosevelt High School, and spent over 30 years working at her beloved, Seattle Central Community College, retiring in 2004. Myra lead a very eclectic life and had an awesome sense of style all her own. She was a walking encyclopedia of information for all students, staff, and teachers at SCCC. She was particularly fond of students and was dedicated to helping, encouraging, and befriending them, not just on campus, but wherever she met them. In any school year there was always at least one exchange student residing at Myra's and learning about life in America.

Myra is also survived by her 15 Grandchildren & 6 Great Grandchildren.
