TRIICK (Getz), Myra Lou

Myra Lou Getz Triick, age 81, of Miramar Beach, FL, and Guernsey Lake, MI, died on April 1, 2022, at Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast. She was born January 8, 1941, in Middletown, OH, to Homer Charles and Marguerite Marts Getz. After a 9-year courtship, on June 9, 1962, she was

married to David Robert Triick, son of Robert William and

Henrietta Wilson Triick of Middletown, OH. She and her

husband attended Miami University and graduated on June 9, 1963, on their first anniversary. Myra went on to be a successful fourth grade schoolteacher, mostly at Amanda Elementary. Among the many honors she received, she was inducted into Phi Delta Kappa, Professional Education Honorary.

Myra was a tough, thoughtful, and loving teacher. She developed a scrap book that included a class photo of each of her 31 classes. Often, she would refer to that book to fondly

remember a particular student or group. Even though the classroom study was primary, she always insisted on a good

recess break. Every spring, Myra would organize and run a mini-Olympics. All of this was conducted while raising a family of four, caring for the house, teaching, and caring for a

severely handicapped son. Her hard work and dedication to the task was clearly evident more recently while dealing with an illness and confining treatment for the last seven months. Thank God she had lots of football, basketball and Hallmark movies to provide entertainment and distraction.

Mrs. Triick is a member of the Destin United Methodist Church and the Santa Rosa Golf and Beach Club and attended the First Presbyterian Church of Hastings, MI. She was formally a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Middletown, OH.

Myra is survived by her husband, David of almost 60 years; sister and brother-in-law, Beatrice (Dan) Hayes; brother-in-law and wife, William (Joyce) Triick; son, D. Scott (Stephanie) Triick; grandchildren, David, Amy, and Billy; great-grandchildren, Mackenzie, Hailey, Nathan, Gunner, and Hunter. In addition to these she was pleased to love and recognize the Ross and Natalie Ovellette family parents of Mackenzie and Hailey. Myra was preceded in death by a son, Robert (Robby) Charles Triick, her parents, and her in-laws.

A memorial service is planned for Saturday, April 9, 2022, at 11:00 A.M. at the Destin United Methodist Church, 200 Beach Drive, Destin, Florida 32451. After the service there will be

refreshments and time to speak with the family. Myra assured us there will be plenty of time after the service to watch the Masters. Arrangements are by Davis Watkins Funeral Home. Other services are to be planned during the summer in Ohio and Michigan. Please consider a contribution to Autism Speaks, PO Box 37147, Boone, IA 50037-0147 in place of

flowers.

Finally, Myra wants to thank those that she called her special medical "team" Drs. Phillips, Zimmermann, Mayes, Nagrani, Adams, Patrinely, and Riggenbach for their care and

understanding.

I think of you often, Myra, especially on April 1. I think of the fun times we all had on Gladys Drive and wonder how our parents ever survived all our antics. I'll see you one of these days in the near future.

Though it's been over a decade since our paths last crossed, I often think of lessons Mrs. Triick taught to my fourth-grade class at Amanda Elementary during the 1992/93 school year. I was also lucky enough to make further memories with her, as well as her husband David, when they later became neighbors with my grandmother.

While I was privileged to learn from a series of excellent educators at Amanda, what I will most remember about Mrs. Triick was her acceptance of everyone for who they were. No matter a student's strengths or weaknesses, where they hailed from or the hand they were dealt, she gave each of us the same compassion and care... usually with an added dose of humor and wit.

Thank you, Mr. Triick, for allowing me to be me, and for helping me to understand the value of showing that same grace to others.

My condolences to her family, friends, and the countless others whose lives she touched.

My sincere condolences to the Triick family. She was my 4th grade teacher at Amanda in 1974. I remember her fondly, a very nice woman. Rest in peace.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Myra's death at noon today. Myra and I grew up two houses from each other in Middletown, Ohio and loved the times we were able to be with her and David over the years during our trips back to Ohio. We know she is in a far better place today than we can ever imagine but know that at some point in the future we'll all be together again. Thank you for your friendship Myra and know that you will be greatly missed by all those of us who knew you and loved you. We'll see you again some day.

Those of us in the Living Today Sunday School class at Destin United Methodist Church were more than blest (some us for many years) to study God's Word and fellowship with precious Myra, our class including her doting and beloved husband David, her adoring sister Bea, and her "always there" brother-in-law Dan. We look forward to celebrating her life this coming Saturday
