Myra Henry Obituary
HENRY, MYRA T., 64 - of Wildwood, went home to be with the Lord on October 30, 2008 in Cape Regional Medical Center, Cape May Court House, with her best friends by her side. Myra was born in Bronx, NY on July 31st 1944 to the late Emil and Violet Garcia. She grew up in the Bronx, but spent many summers in Wildwood babysitting for members of Steve Gibson and the Red Caps, the Platters and other popular entertainers. Myra started her employment with AT&T in 1962 as a telephone operator in New York. She relocated to Wildwood in 1972, continuing her work with Bell Telephone throughout its many name and location changes, working as both a service representative and repair service clerk until her retirement in December 2001. Myra was a wonderful Mom and friend to all who knew her, and will be forever missed but fondly remembered for her great sense of humor. She was an independent lady who lived life on her own terms to the strains of her favorite song, "Confidential" by Sonny Knight. Myra loved listening and dancing to oldies music, antiquing for Hummel figurines, and traveling; but most of all she loved her son, Emil Joseph and his wife Michelle who now reside in St. Petersburg, Florida. She is also survived by her oldest brother Emil, a younger brother Anthony, and a younger sister Dawn, along with by many, many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2008 at 11:00 AM at the Radzieta Funeral Home, 9 Hand Avenue, Cape May Court House, where friends may call from 10:00 AM for her viewing. Interment will be private. Condolences at www.radzieta.com

Thinking of you, always and still Auntie. I hear your laugh and remember standing in your livingroom, wishing I could stop by and crack some jokes with you now.

How time flies ... it's been almost 11 years since Ms. Myra's passing. She is still in our hearts for sure; my mom (Brenda Long) and I mention her and remember her with joy and laughter. What a wonderful friend. She was like an extra auntie to me.

I cannot think of Wildwood without thinking of Ms. Myra. I remember visiting her home as a child and being so envious of her proximity to the boardwalk! I always remember her sense of humor--I shared many a tear-rendering laugh with her and my mom, Brenda (Long). I will miss that. I enjoyed what I called her New York accent--the lilt in her voice that was different from all the other South Jersey folks. I was happy to see her and talk to her, even after I had been away from home for many years. There are few people as genuine as Ms. Myra and she will be missed, but we can all be comforted in the fact that she is now out of pain and discomfort, and dancing with the saints. Blessings to the family; may God bring peace to your hearts.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you through these hard times. I worked with Myra, and she was a pleasure to know. Nothing ever bad to say about anyone, always with a smile, and everyone liked her. She was a sweet lady. I'm blessed to have known her. Sincerely, The DeMarcos

Joe,two memories will remain with both of us.Did your mother ever make a wonderful Turkey and gravy! The other is her Spanish Rice.My mouth still burns from the Spanish Rice.She never allowed anyone to know her secret ingredients.Most of all I will miss her laughter! It was so deep and filled with the spirit of a woman who knew how to overcome this world's difficulties,She gave freely of herself.Joe remeber that as all of us will.Hopefully she will reserve a dance for me at the Copsey's in the sky wearing her black dress and spike heels.I will miss her ,Jack Heaton
