ELVINA MARIA "RUSTY" MYERS
August 17, 1922 - March 24, 2012
Cochecton, NY

Our beloved Mother, Nana and friend, passed away peacefully at home,
surrounded by her family on Saturday, March 24, 2012. She was born on
August 17, 1922 to Ernest P. and Maria Christina Russell in Henniker, NH.

Rusty attended Bryant & Stratton Commercial School in Boston, MA and
was a World War II Navy Veteran serving in Pearl Harbor, Oahu, HI as a
Pharmacist's Mate from 1943 to 1945. She married Carroll R. Myers in 1946
and divorced in 1966. She worked for the Postal Service in Cochecton,
and the Black Horse Inn as a singing waitress and went on to become a
nurse through the LPN two-year program, and went to to work at Monticello
Hospital and CRMC Grover Hermann Division. She retired in 1991.

Her passions in life were her loving family and friends, her flower
gardens, baking and being an avid birdwatcher. We know this world has
lost a great person but heaven has become a lot richer with her passing.

She was predeceased by her parents; her sister, Dagmar Brickley;
and her brother, Nelson Russell. She is survived by her children:
Christina Bilick, Richard Myers, and Janet Goble; her grandchildren:
Jonathan Harting, Summer Bilick, Matthew Bilick, Joshua Bilick and Sarah
Goble; her great granddaughter, Serena Harting; many in-laws, nieces and
nephews, and special friends: Alice Scott, the Keesler family, and Rick
and Liz Zirpoli.

at 12 p.m. at the Delaware Youth Center in Callicoon, NY.
