Myra attended South Houston High School in South Houston Texas her sophomore and Junior year and graduated from Petersburg High School, Petersburg, Virginia, in 1965.

Upon returning to Houston, she went to work for Lockheed Martin at the Johnson Space Center. She spent 40 years with them and retired in 2012. She always called it her dream job. Myra was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was also devoted to her little dog Abby who gave her so much joy in her recent years.
Myra was a woman of extraordinary strength, compassion, and unwavering devotion. She dedicated her life to caring for her daughter, Holly, whose needs she met with boundless patience, tenderness, and fierce love. To Myra, caregiving was never a duty—it was a calling she embraced with grace and dignity every single day. Her home was a place of warmth and acceptance, where kindness was practiced in quiet, everyday moments. She taught those around her the true meaning of selflessness, resilience, and unconditional love. Even in the face of challenges, she remained steadfast, offering comfort, strength, and a gentle smile that reassured everyone in her presence.
Beyond her role as a devoted mother and grandmother, Myra was cherished as a friend and co-worker known for her sharp intellect, spunk, and generosity. She loved spending time on her patio in her flower garden with Abby. Her spirit touched all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Visitation will be at Crowder Funeral Home, 1645 East Main, League City, Texas on 4/21/26 from 5-8:00pm. Graveside service will be held at Forest Park East Cemetery (Webster, Texas) on 4/22/26 at 11:00am.
Her legacy lives on in the love she gave so freely and the lives she shaped with her compassion. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Myra was my long time friend way before we had our children, we had great times & with our children becoming friends. My family and I will miss her terribly .
To Gary and Tammy. Please know that Ginsberg family has you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Myra was truly a remarkable woman, mother, and wife. Cindy and I treasured our visits to your home knowing that Myra would be making chopped chicken liver pate, using a family recipe passed down through the ages. She truly loved her family and was so proud of each of you. Her spirit remains with us forever. May she rest in peace. Brother Al
Myra was one of the loveliest ladys, I’ve meet. Meeting her through our work at Lockheed, she was always so graceous and generous in helping with the many fundraisers we participated with. Luncheons with the girls and so many great memories of her. My heart, thoughts and prayers go to Gary, Tammy and her extended family. May she rest in peace.
Myra, I was fortunate enough to become friends with you over our laughs on dog jokes & pictures on FB. It was like we’d known each other a long time. Your husband Gary & I were classmates at South Houston High 1964. You 2 were obviously an awesome, loving couple. You accomplished what few do. You will be missed, but I know you are at rest now in Heaven. I am so very glad you were at home where you belonged when God called you. I pray for strength for Gary & your entire family. Abby will be fine as she knows what happened….so she won’t be searching. Another gift from God. My prayers to all.
Myra and I were friends for over fifty years. To have a friendship that endures across decades is one of life’s rarest gifts and she gave that gift with such grace, humor and loyalty. She showed up fully, sincerely and without hesitation. Her kindness was deep and her strength unmistakable. Her two daughters were the center of her world and she poured her heart into raising them with the same warmth and steadiness she offered everyone around her. She leaves behind a husband who adored her and a family who reflects the best parts of who she was–compassionate, grounded and full of heart.
She leaves a space that can’t be filled but her presence remains in countless memories. Her life was a blessing and her memory will continue to be one.
