Myra Wise

My husband and I saw Myra for marriage counseling for ten years! We came to her when we were in a very difficult and painful time after the death of my son. She helped us through that crisis and then went on with us to build the foundation of our marriage and we always always remember her. We often quote her sayings to us to our family and friends ..and they will say what was it that Myra used to say to you? Myra you are such a wise a beautiful woman and counselor to many. Thank you for...

Myra simply floated above most. She and Burt represented what many strive to become: loving, caring, giving, thoughtful, grateful and always joyful. Although I caught them at the tail end of their lives they continued to inspire in ways that most dream about. Whether taking educational classes or commuting from SF to Healdsburg they lived a full life to the end. When I helped them sell their family Mill Valley home, Myra had told me that they were moving because she wanted what Burt...

My wife and I met Myra after we had been married a little over a year. My wife had just lost her son, my step son, in a drowning accident during our family vacation. We met her at her Steiner Office first. Probably because she wanted to check us out to make sure we weren’t nut jobs. Soon we graduated and were able to see her at her lovely home office in Marin. My wife and I saw Myra for over 10 years. I learned more from Myra about listening to myself, trusting myself and taking care of...

Thank you for your wonderful obituary in the MarinIJ. It was so enlightening to recall those wonderful years in the 1960's, in and out of Myra's home on Throckmorton Street in Mill Valley. It warmed my heart again. With many thanks to Myra and Burt.

We met Burt and Myra around 2009 at a Fritz Winery event. We quickly learned that our vacation properties bordered the Winery on the north and south. We enjoyed them both and delighted at the notion of new friends in that place. They graciously invited us to their vineyard home and we met again with other neighbors along Dutcher Creek Rd. We were sad later to see the For Sale sign at their road and later Burt’s obituary in the Chronicle. We sensed what fine, caring people they were, confirmed...

I was saddened to learn of Myra's passing. I met her in ~1971 at a dinner at Mt. Zion Hospital for physicians and their wives. We were arbitrarily seated next to one another and enjoyed a delightful evening becoming acquainted. Many years later, we discovered that we were second cousins! Years after that, I became acquainted with Carla, Mark, and Lia who were our neighbors in Corvallis, Oregon. Myra was a lovely person and I feel fortunate to have met her. My condolences to the family.
