Bonnie Rae Myers

Bonnie Rae (Marshall) Myers, age 95, of Callaway, died August 18, 2024 at the Callaway Good Life Center.

Bonnie was born October 15, 1928 in Eddyville, Nebraska, to Marion R. and Nellie Viola Lamb Marshall. She attended school at Eddyville and graduated from Eddyville High School. She then went on to continue her education at Kearney State College for teaching and taught grades 1-4 and all eight grades in music for 2 years in Eddyville.

She married the love of her life, Robert Myers, on August 7, 1949 in Eddyville. She and Bob were partners in any job they chose to do, no matter where it was. You rarely saw one without the other. Bob passed away in 2018. Four children were blessed to this marriage; Mike, Pat, Rob, and Connie. 

Bonnie was a member of the United Methodist church in Callaway. She spent many years being a part of United Methodist Women and serving in the church in various roles. Bonnie loved being busy – she cooked for the school when the kids were growing up, later for the hospital, Good Samaritan home and was the church secretary for a time. She held several jobs but one she felt so blessed by, was working with Hospice, one of her gifts was caring for others when they were not well. Bonnie loved to cook and bake, it was very common to walk in her home and smell fresh bread baking. In recent years, she was not able to do the things she dearly loved but she could still tell you a recipe favorite or how to knead the bread to make it soft and perfect and she was good at teaching others how it was done. Her family was her life and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her, and especially by her kids, grandkids and great grandkids.
