Willie Mae Myers age 89, of Nashville, passed away on August 31, 2016 surrounded by her family.
She was born on May 7, 1927 in Florence Co., South Carolina to the late William P and Eunice Kirby Player.
When talking about Mrs. Myers the words faithful, strong, full of life and grateful were just a few of the descriptions given about her. Her love for God, the Church and her family ran deep within her. Being a Pastors wife she had the passion for spreading Gods Word and His love; she was involved in many different ministries but she held the South Carolina Nazarene Camp Ground and the compassion for lost souls close to her heart, helping anyway she could. Over the years she met so many people that became not only friends but were influential in her life and her walk with God; Drs. Moody and Nina Gunter, Ken Dove, David Graves, and Bobby Burgess just to name a few.
Mrs. Myers had many hobbies the last few years, from learning to ballroom dance at 60 years old to taking her first Big Band Cruise at 70, followed by 5 more; word searches, watching the Tennessee Titans and sewing. It didn't matter if it was on the Ballroom Dance floor, Family reunions, Christmas Eve, or Friday Night date Night, she was always Full of Life and happy anytime you saw her.
She will forever be remembered as a loving Wife, Mother, MeMaw and MaMaw
In addition to her parents she is preceded in death by her beloved husband Jack M. Myers, Sr. and siblings, Richard Player, Glennan Player, Louise Horton, Mary Alice Armstrong, and Ruby Lee Brewer.
