Vale Lynne C Myer

It is with great sadness that we write this blog as a dear friend Lynne whom we have know since 1993 when Beverley was posted to Fort Sam Houston, passed away on 25 February following a heroic fight over many years with illness. 
Lynne earned her nursing degree at The Mercy School of Nursing, in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1969 and entered the U.S. Army as a 2LT, retiring as a Major in 2002.   She served in Vietnam after which she completed Master's Degree in Nursing. During her career she worked primarily in intensive careand the emergency room but also spent several assignments as an instructor for enlisted medical personnel. Once retired from active military service, she continued working at San Antonio Military Medical Center in the Emergency Room as a civilian until finally retiring in 2013. Her military awards included the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service (2nd award), and Army Commendation Medals.

Lynne was known for her service to others. Whether as a nurse, a mother, a wife or a grandmother she took care of others far beyond the call of duty and enjoyed the friendship of many of her professional colleagues.

Lynne and Edward married 1972 and in 2013 they joined us for her 65th birthday at our home.  It was a great day.

Lynne was interned with full military honors on Friday, February 6, 2015, at 9:15 AM at the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.    She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Edward Meyer, her daughters Adrienne and Jessica, and her grandson Samuel. She was the second of six children, including her older brother Bruce and her younger sisters Bette, Michelle, Patricia and Andrea.

Lynne was always smiling and did not focus on herself.  She was a person who always made you feel better for knowing her.

Now she rests at peace and we will miss her.

Our thoughts are with her family.
