Obituary of Nancy J. Myers

Nancy Jean Myers, 62, courageously lost her battle with cancer and passed away peacefully at home on April 22^nd, 2019, surrounded by loved ones.  Nancy was born November 15, 1956 to the late Louis A. and Ida M.

Nancy spent decades living in Evans Falls with her family, until building her dream home in Hop Bottom in 2009, where she would spend her remaining days. Nancy was an avid cook, baker, and notorious shopper.  She was the most generous person anyone would meet.  Nancy was a devoted wife, mom, sister, nana, aunt, and friend.  She loved her family with all she had.

Preceding her in death were both of her parents, Louis A. and Ida M. Cleveland. Nancy lovingly leaves behind her husband of over 42 years, Roger, as well as her children, Justin Myers, and fiancé Robyn Bushnell, of Dalton, her daughter Tammy Swenson, and husband Steve, of Tunkhannock, her grandchildren Alaina and Alyssa Gerek of Dunmore, and Joshua Myers of Dalton.

The family of Nancy would like to thank the Traditions Home Health Hospice Nurses Kolton, Debbie, Camille, and Ellen, Nancy’s aide Julia, and family friends Dan and Heidi Harvey for being so helpful and compassionate during this time. 

A viewing for family and friends will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, April 26^th, 2019 at Sheldon-Kukuchka Funeral Home, 73 West Tioga St., Tunkhannock.  Interment will be on Saturday, April 27th, 2019 at the Union Cemetery, SR 3023 in Lathrop Twp.
