   She had been ill a long time prior to her death.
   
   The body lay in state at the Walldorff Funeral home until 11 a.m. on Saturday and at 2 p.m. services were held at the First Methodist church with the Rev. William H. Helrigel officiating.
   
   Burial was in the family lot beside her husband, Royal, at the Woodland Memorial Park cemetery. Mr. Myers died in 1950.
