  • Notes 
    • Myra graduated with high honors with a master's degree from WVU. Soon after, she became a therapist, then found her calling as a social worker for WVDHHR. She served the residents of Charleston, WV for most of her life, helping countless children and families. She was a lifelong member of Christ Church United Methodist Church. She enjoyed reading, especially Agatha Christie books, and loved Jane Austin film adaptations. She could often be found challenging her sharp intellect with cross word puzzles or relishing in an afternoon nap. She was a progressive thinker, ahead of her time with her willingness to understand and respect every individual, despite their differences or flaws. Her ability to listen without judgment and to give clear and honest feedback was respected and sought after by many. Her sass and strength were also defining characteristics of her personality. Myra is survived by her husband of 46 years, James William "Dink" Jarrett. She is survived by two sisters, and a daughter. She was preceded in death by her mother, Mary Sidney Beane Sawyers, and father, Burl Allan Sawyers, and brother, Joe Allan Sawyers. [1]
