Kathleen 'Mickey' Myers

SAND CREEK—Kathleen ‘Mickey’ Myers, 87, of Sand Creek, went to meet her heavenly Father, Thursday, February 26, 2015, at Charlotte Stephenson under the gentle care of Hospice of Lenawee. She was born July 21, 1927, in Detroit, Michigan to Gustav and Alice (Nageborn) Leu. She graduated with the Sand Creek High School Class of 1945. Many of her high school girlfriends and their spouses (‘The Gang’) continued to get together through all of their life events with a very strong bond that has remained for 70 years. She loved to dance and met the love of her life at a Grange dance. On June 7, 1947, she married Richard ‘Dick’ Myers at Sand Creek Community Church. He preceded her in death in 2007 having been blessed with almost 60 years together. They started their married life in Adrian living in the house that Dick built. They then moved to the Hillsdale area where Mickey and Dick farmed for a short period of time. Moving back to the Sand Creek area, Mickey then worked at the Sand Creek Telephone Company and at Alisa’s Bridal Boutique. Mickey treasured her family; she was a devoted wife and loving mother. She was a faithful member, for over 50 years, of the Sand Creek Community Church and was active in the Ladies Aid. After retiring, Mickey and her husband, Dick, traveled the country buying and selling antiques, where they met many lifelong friends. She will be remembered for her kindness, compassion and her smile she shared with everyone. Survivors include her daughters, Nancy (Harley) Wagner of Manitou Beach, Marci (Paul) Bailey of Vicksburg, MI, and Leslie (Mike) Lewis of St. Louis, MO; daughter in law, Susan (Steve) Nystrom of Adrian; grandchildren, Laurie Fry, Jennifer (Mark) Wilson, Aaron Bailey, Amanda (Jason) Worrall, Betsy (Jerome) Fraisse-Bailey, Stephanie (Nikolas) Szwabo, Samantha Lewis, Sarah (Chad) Brown, Carrie (Joe) Hulett; and great grandchildren, Taylor (Zeth) Soltis, Hayley Fry, Katie Wilson, Madison Wilson, Emily Worrall, Caroline Worrall, Austin Brown, Carter, Reid, Tucker and Everett Hulett.
