Maureen (Renie) Ellen Myers
April 16, 1948 - December 19, 2022

Renie died peacefully in her sleep on December 19, 2022 in her lifelong home in Eureka.

Renie is survived by her children Dennis (Allie) Higgins and Faryn Rushing; grandchildren Holly, Cody and Ryan Higgins and great-granddaughter Hadley Higgins; her siblings Denny (Gay) Myers, Chuck Myers and Mary Myers; her nieces Carie, Kelly, Amy, Deana, Erin Myers, and many great-nieces and nephews; her lifelong friend Debbie White; and her children, Jill, Lyndsay and Keith. She is preceded in death by her parents, Ellen Lillian Kaski and Frank George Myers.

Renie loved playing Yahtzee on Friday nights, playing bingo at the casino and going to baseball games with her beloved Pomeranian, Jaycee. Renie was an animal lover and always had many animals throughout the years that she loved dearly and spoiled like her own children. Renie worked at Lincoln Elementary School for many years, the same school she attended as a child.

Renie loved her children unconditionally and always provided for them in any way that she could. Her son Dennis, who she adored and was always the man in her life who she looked to for strength. He filled her with pride. He gave her three grandchildren and a never-ending source of support and love. Faryn, her only girl who she cherished beyond belief. Renie dreamed of having a little girl of her own and was enamored by Faryn as soon as she made her appearance, all those years after Dennis. She loved her children with her entire heart and supported them through the good times and the bad. Being a mother was something she adored and her children knew they could always come home, no matter what.

Renie had many close friends throughout her life, some from the very beginning. Debbie White, her lifelong best friend, who was always by her side. They went to the same grade school, raised children together and remained friends until the very end. Suzie Staggs, Sherry Ball, Janice Stewart, Debbie Wilson, Janis Cozart are just some of the people that were with Renie through it all, totaling 300 years of friendship and memories.

A celebration of life will be held at the Wharfinger Building on February 11 at 1 p.m.
