Obituary for Celia Lyn Myers
Celia Lyn Myers, age 65, went home to be with our Lord and Savior on February 26, 2021. She was born on August 24, 1955 to her parents Richard and Jo Ann Crisp. She graduated with the class of 1973 from Carter High School in Dallas, Texas. She leaves behind to cherish her memory; her husband of 44 years Bruce Myers, children, Britton Myers, Shannan Schmidt and Julie Simon, grandchildren Saylor and Gaven Schmidt, father Richard Crisp, sister Caroline Crisp, and her favorite kids Boo Boo and Yogi. She is preceded in death by her grandmother Mary Barrow , mother Jo Ann Crisp, and sisters Christine Lee Crisp and Cynthia Ann Crisp.
Celia had an unwavering faith in God. She was an amazing woman who touched the hearts of so many people with her infectious smile and laugh. She was an intelligent and witty woman of many talents. She began working for Red Hat Nursery in high school and later went on to work for Jack Sellman M.D. Celia worked 30 plus years in IT for Sprint, working on their main frame, problem solving and installing applications. (Her job was honestly too technical for most to understand!) She loved her time there and spoke fondly of her coworkers. She was a gifted artist who loved drawing, painting, making pottery and ceramics, quilting, and sewing (especially her kids’ homemade costumes for Halloween). She also had a knack for baking and enjoyed shopping at her favorite store, William Sonoma. She inherited her love of antiques from her parents and grandmother. Bruce and Celia went to Roundtop for weeks twice a year for over 20 years. The last 15 years they set up a booth and sold unique antiques on Bluebonnet Hill. She didn’t enjoy sports, which is unfortunate living with Bruce, but she never complained and never missed one of the countless games her son was in.
Celia was the best friend anyone could have. She was funny, a great listener, and the best caregiver when her family needed it. She was amazing at making people feel loved and supported. Celia was truly an interesting and creative person, and she will be missed by all who knew her!
