ROSEBETH "BETH" MYERS
June 8, 1922 – December 17, 2014
The Myers and Maerkisch families and friends of Beth Myers mourn her loss.
Beth was born in Chicago, the eldest of four children of Martha Hoffman Maerkisch and Bernard Maerkisch. She grew up in North Fairfield, Ohio, then attended Ohio State University as a piano major. She met her future husband, H. Lyle Myers, in North Fairfield, where he was a teacher. Beth and Lyle married on December 24, 1943. In 1949 they moved to Fremont, Michigan, where Lyle taught returning veterans of WW II and Beth first taught music and then was secretary to the high school principal. She and Lyle raised two daughters: Andrea Fischer, who survives her late husband, Hermann, and lives in Lander, Wyoming; and Susan Peterson, married to Eric and living in Fort Collins, Colorado.
In addition to her children and their families, Beth is survived by her brother, Bernard "Bud" Maerkisch of Norwalk, Ohio, and her brother-in-law, Richard Gillies, of Dunedin, Florida. She greatly missed her late sisters, Ruth Gillies and Joanne Maerkisch. Beth is also survived by many members of Ruth and Bud's extended families, including nephew Bruce Gillies, who lived with Lyle and Beth during his high school years.
Beth spent many happy years in Fremont, enjoying being involved in musical groups and with Andrea's interest in horses and Susan's musical activities. Lyle died on July 4, 1989, and a few years later Beth moved to Fort Collins in 1992 to be closer to Andrea and Susan. In Fort Collins, she enjoyed taking care of her cats, gardening, reading voraciously, and continuing to play her piano. She had many close friends in both Fremont and Fort Collins, and she was especially close to the family of Dave and Amy Rosenberg, serving as surrogate grandmother to their daughters Hannah and Sarah.
A graveside service at the Adario. Ohio, cemetery is planned for next summer. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make memorial gifts are encouraged to contribute to libraries or "friends of the library" groups of their choice in Beth's memory.
