Myra Headley Obituary
Myra was born December 29, 1947 in Pasadena, TX to Edgar and Anna Marie Overmyer.
She loved Jesus, Elvis, Dr. Pepper, and her family. It became a beloved tradition for her to call family members to sing "Happy Birthday" on their special days.
Myra loved taking care of people and spent many years as a CNA working in hospitals, nursing homes, and finally in-home health care. After her health declined, she passed the time by crocheting winter scarves for the homeless.
She is survived by a brother, George (Jane) Overmyer of Texas; two daughters, Trina (Jon) Reynolds of Horn Lake, MS and Nancy (Bryan) Neal of Green Cove Springs, FL; a son, Ronnie Coffman of Colt, AR; ten grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren.
Henderson Funeral Home of Hernando, MS has handled current arrangements. The family will hold a memorial service in Myra's honor as soon as it is deemed safe to gather.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
