Myra was born in Dallas to Dr. Asa Bertram and Ruth Beaver Starbuck, on August 21, 1945 she married James Dempsey Allgood, U.S. Army Colonel in San Francisco. She was a lifetime resident of Dallas. She attended Dallas Public Schools and graduated from Dallas High School. She attended University of Oregon for three years where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority. She furthered her education at Art Institute of University of California in San Francisco before World War II permanently altered her desire for a career in Interior Design. Her life centered around her family, church and community. For many years, she was involved as Precinct Committee Women and Polk County Central Republicans. In addition, she was a member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church Altar Guild, as well as one of the founding members establishing St. Thomas as a mission in Dallas during the late 1940's. She took an active part in community affairs.

Her legacy was instilling strong moral values and the need for community service to her children. Myra enjoyed tending her blueberry plants and loved to weave at home. She was an exceptional reader and public speaker whose independent nature made her an very unique human being. She was a lifetime member of Polk County Museum and spent endless hours working on Senator Mark Hatfield Campaigns as her husband was Treasurer. She loved dogs, especially dachshunds as the family had numerous dogs during her tenure. She enjoyed watching Oregon Ducks football and basketball games and listening to classical music; especially Boston Pops and Philadelphia Orchestra.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Colonel James Dempsey Allgood, who died in 1982, her brother, Dr. Thomas Beaver Starbuck, and her sister, Mary Starbuck Pemberton.
Survivors include her three adult children, daughters, Alice Bertram Herring of Kancohe, Hawaii; and Elizabeth "Libby" Ruth Allgood of Mercer Island, Washington; and son, James Ector Starbuck Allgood of Dallas.
There will be no memorial services. A family ceremony will commence during the summer. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to Willamette Valley Hospice or a charity of your choice.
