Ms. Schultz was a prolific and noted author and lecturer in her field, including on operating room issues such as "So You Want to be a Manager," and "Healthcare Packaging Issues in the Operation Room". She was loved by her co-workers who frequently sought her advice and counsel. Myra is survived by her cherished children, Robert (Amy) Rubinberg, Andrew (Hanna) Rubinberg, and Matthew Rubinberg, and her stepchildren, David (Mary) Schultz, Robert Schultz, and Beth (William) Suerth as well as her nieces: Amy Kavka, Rebecca Milanski, and Jennifer Hanson. She was the fond sister of the late Dorothy Kavka and sister-in-law of Dr. Steven Kavka.
