In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Hascue Coleman Myers; brothers, Frank, Ernest, David and Donald Shupe; and sisters, Ruby Martin, Edith Blankenbeckler, Dorothy Hicks and infant Ella Maude Shupe.

Survivors include her daughter, Donna Liakos and husband, Robbie, and her son, Dana Myers, and wife, Leslie, all of Savannah, Georgia; five grandchildren, Erik Furry, Heather Furry, Jessica Cooper, Mallory Smith and Andrew Myers; eleven great grandchildren, Katelynn Furry, Sebastian Furry, Eva Furry, Brynn Godfrey, Jonathan Cooper, Grace Cooper, Lucy Smith, Margaret Smith, Emma Myers, Jacob Myers and Taylor Myers; several nieces, nephews, and other loving family members; and a host of friends including her special friends Jane Pinchard and Donna Fox.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, June 26, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. in the chapel of Nicely Funeral Home, Clifton Forge, with Reverend Lynn Wright officiating. Interment will follow in Alleghany Memorial Park, Low Moor. Pallbearers will be Erik Furry, Rob Liakos, Dana Myers, Tom Beirne, Tommy Slusser, Brandon Nicely, and Ralph Tucker.
