Judith A. Myers
1928 – 2020

On Sunday, May 17, 2020, Judith Myers, age 92, a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother passed away surrounded by her family.  Judy was a true Angel on Earth, as she was born to Henry and Rachel Angel in March 1928, in Shelburn, IN.  She grew up as the middle child of five girls in Clay City, IN.   On a fateful day in 1947, she met Harry Myers at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in downtown Indianapolis.  Harry promised to “show her the world”, and they married two years later.  Harry and Judy visited 5 continents and all 50 states before celebrating their 65^th wedding anniversary, prior to Harry’s passing.

Judy and Harry’s immediate family includes their three children: Cathy, Phillip and Elizabeth; along with their spouses, Keith, Susy and George; their grandchildren: Kelly, Gavin, Kolby and Allison, along with their spouses/future spouses Jason, Angie, Michelle and Matt;  and their great-grandchildren Madison, Landon, Baby Myers (due in June), Noah, Henry, and Sofia.  Judy is survived by three sisters: Melba, Mary and Rachel; one brother-in-law, Russell; as well many nieces and nephews too numerous to list, but not forgotten.

She is now reunited with her husband and love of her life, Harry.  She is predeceased by both parents, one sister, Jeanne, two brothers-in-law, Harley and Richard, and all the ancestors she discovered back to the Magna Carta in 1215, while avidly researching the family’s ancestry.  Judy became a member of the DAR in 2016.  In addition to genealogy, Judy loved to travel, to paint, to garden, and to mow the lawn.  Her favorite activity was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Nothing stopped Judy when she set her mind to a task: from planning family road trips (pre-google maps era), to completely disassembling and removing a broken upright piano, and pulling up the carpet to expose the ancient hardwood floors by herself (while in her 90’s).

Judy began working in the 1940’s as a secretary, and as a hand model.  She was a homemaker, loving mother, and a Sunday School teacher at Lawrence United Methodist Church.  She was the Vice-President of Myers Landscape Company, which installed thousands of yards at new homes in the greater Indianapolis area.  In addition, she was the Vice-President of Myers Construction Company, which developed both the Country Lakes Estates and Pine Knoll subdivisions in Noblesville, IN.

Judy was known for her quick wit, and her loving and compassionate spirit.  The family would like to express their gratitude to the nurses at Compassus Indianapolis Hospice Care.

Judy’s Celebration of Life Party has been rescheduled to Saturday, October, 10th, from 2 pm to 5 pm at the Green Room at Federal Hills Commons, located at 175 Logan Street (at St Rd 19 and St Rd 32) in Noblesville, IN. No flowers are necessary, but if desired, please direct them to a first responder or health care worker at a local hospital.  Honorary donations can be made to the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Wounded Warriors, a local food bank, or Meals on Wheels America.  Online condolences can be posted at the Flanner Buchanan website.
