Mary Mildred Myers born February 20th, 1934 in New Market, Indiana. She passed on April 30th, 2022 at the age of 88 in Boynton Beach, FL. Mary attended New Market Elementary, Junior and High School.
Mary is lovingly remembered by her son Dr. David White and wife Gail, daughter Danna and husband Tom Goddard, grandchildren Justin and James Petronelli and brother, David Myers. She is predeceased by her siblings, Lillian, Ernie, Don, Rosanna and Alan Dale.
Mary was a feisty young woman and loved to travel and explore. After graduating high school she moved to California which she loved and always fondly remembered. Eventually she settled in South Florida in the late 1950s where she remained.
Mary was a hard worker her entire life, working 30+ years in the personal insurance industry. For recreation she started playing tennis mid-life and joined the Boynton Tennis team which she thoroughly loved until a knee injury hampered her from playing. When Rafa Nadal came to the scene she was a huge fan and still watched and attended local tournaments. She was also a big fan of the Miami Heat and loved to cheer them on TV and especially if attending the games live.
Mary loved to play Euchre which is a popular mid-west card game. On holidays and family get-togethers there was always a competitive game going on and she loved to win.
She loved to travel and took many trips throughout the United States and Europe. Her dream was to see Monet's Gardens in France which she was able to do in 2001 as well as visiting Austria and shopping for Swarovski crystal for her small collection. She also loved to attend ballets and philharmonic concerts. Unfortunately as she grew older she was not able to get around much but she was a huge fan of Frank Sinatra so listening and watching videos of him made her the happiest in her later years.
A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 PM on Wednesday, May 11, 2022 at Scobee-Combs-Bowden Funeral Home, 599 N.E. 15th Avenue, Boynton Beach, Florida.
