Melhem, her husband Anthony and their daughter, Claire. Also surviving her are her brother George Grant and his wife Mary Lou Grant and three nephews, John, Jim and Robert Grant.

Myra spent her career as a public school teacher, first in Indiana and then in Delaware for more than 30 years. She began her career in Delaware at Hockessin Elementary School where she taught all grades. Her year teaching the sixth grade there was always her fondest memory in her long teaching career that took her to Mount Pleasant High School and the New Castle County Vocational School District. After retiring from the State of Delaware, she worked at Brown University in the "Re-learning Program" and also supervised student teachers for the University of Delaware. She not only brought the love of language and life-long learning to her students, but also to her own children.
