It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Elizabeth A. Myers, also known as Betty, on October 10, 2023 at the age of 80. Betty was a beloved lifelong resident of Zion, IL, and married her teenage sweetheart Jerrid Myers in 1961. Together, they shared 66 wonderful years, 62 of which they were happily married. Betty worked as the Electronics Manager at Kmart for many years before retiring. She was a proud mother, a devoted fan of the Chicago Bears, and enjoyed indulging in pumpkin ice cream.Betty also loved spending time with her family, getting her hair and nails done, and, above all, her faith in God.
Betty was a social butterfly who made friends easily and touched the hearts of many. She was wellknown in her community for her many years as a crossing guard on Herman Ave & 173, as well as her time spent as the Cub Scouts Den Mother. During her retirement, she enjoyed traveling, gardening, and spending time with her loved ones.

Betty was blessed with great-grandchildren Aya, Jerrid, and Gene Myers, and her long time friends Jerry and Carol Cooper of FL.
