Wanda Marie "Alby" Myers passed from this life Saturday May 2, 2015 with her daughter holding her hand. She was 7 weeks short of her 94th birthday.
Wanda was born at home in Fruitland, New Mexico to Corilla Jane Stallings Clements and Lucius Francis Clements on June 21, 1921, the longest day of the year. Her Mother always told her that a very special person - Wanda -was blessed to be born on the longest day of the year! She was #4 of 10 children.
Wanda attended Sacred Heart Academy in Waterflow, New Mexico from 1st grade through high school graduation. She went on to college in Kentucky, but always said her family made her come home after a year of fun and frolic instead of study! Later she went to business school in Albuquerque where she graduated with flying colors. For over 30 years she worked as the secretary/bookkeeper at Myers Equipment Company, the family owned John Deere dealership. In addition, she was the secretary for the Farmers Mutual Ditch for a number of years.
Mother was a devout Catholic. She served as CCD instructor at Sacred Heart. She was a 4-H leader, scout leader, school trip sponsor and supporter of whatever her children were involved in. She was our number one cheerleader!
Wanda has now moved on to be with her husband of 62 years, Arley Myers, her new-born infant son Chester Francis, and her daughter Gretchen Marie.
She is survived by daughters Arla Pope (Randal) and Peggy Soria; son Kip Myers (Lori); son-in-law Kip Hohenberg (Johnna); 17 grandchildren and 37 great-grandchildren; 3 sisters, Jeri Oligschlaeger, Toni Ruegsegger and Mary Bartlett; and numerous nieces and nephews.
