Evonne Myers


Evonne was born Sept 11, 1926 in Wanette, OK to the late D.G. & Hester (McCormick) McKinley. She died Thursday, Apr 28, 2016 at her home west of Davis. She was 89 years 7 months and 17 days old.
Evonne was a 1945 graduate of Asher High School. For a brief time following graduation, she made her home in California where she worked at a dime store. It was on the day she was moving back to Oklahoma that she met the love of her life, Jerry Middleton Myers. She had stopped at a store in the Joy area when Jerry happened to drive by. Once he saw Evonne, it was over, he was in love. In a letter he gave to her, Jerry wrote, “I fell for you like a steer that had been hit between the eyes with a big ol’ rock.” Jerry & Evonne were married on Oct 27, 1947 in Gainesville, TX. They made their home west of Davis where they raised their three children.
Evonne was a very classy lady. She enjoyed traveling with her sisters, gardening, tending to her flowers and working crossword puzzles. Evonne was an avid collector of arrowheads. She spent many hours searching through freshly plowed land, hoping to find just one more.
Survivors include her daughter, Nancy Parks & husband Gary of Wynnewood; son, Ike Myers of Wynnewood; six grandchildren, Chris Scruggs & wife Dion, Jennifer Haxton & husband Jamie, Jeri Myers, Taylor Myers, Misty Pounds & husband David and Kelly Phillips & husband Jimmy; ten great-grandchildren, Shaeli, Kristen & Kaleb Scruggs, Caitlin Parks, Meghan Williams, Jenna Haxton, Brodee & Aubree Myers, Kiley Pounds and Zane Phillips; as well as three sisters, Joyce Spencer of Shawnee, Mary Patenaude of Waverly, TN and Sharron Brewer & husband Ruben of Maud; and two brothers, Charles McKinely & wife Bennie of Las Vegas, NV and Bill McKinley & wife Arlene of Pahrump, NV.
In addition to her parents, Evonne was preceded in death by her husband Jerry; son, Mike Myers; and four siblings, Wanda, Maybelle, Kenneth and Queta McKinley.
