Retha Vernice Myers, 91, passed away Sunday, October 13, 2013 in Moses Lake. Retha was born and raised in Cave Spring, Arkansas. Retha was one of the real people who walked a mile in the snow to get to and from school. Her shoes were so wet and old, the shoes fell apart in the snow. Her brother carried her home on his back. Since there was not enough money to buy new shoes, Retha had to wear her aunt’s shoes, (old lady shoes) to school. During Retha’s teenage years, Retha picked strawberries and sold them for 2 cents a quart so she could buy new school clothes and supplies. Retha worked as a key punch operator /computer operator at PUD of Grant County and Rocketdyne. Retha loved to travel, sew, do pretty punch and was known for her delicious homemade pies at the pot lucks. Retha is survived by husband Harold Myers .
