Dolores Wright Myers

Dolores Wright Myers, 91, of Edinburg, VA passed away on Wednesday, January 1st, 2025 in Colorado. Preceded in death by her loving husband James C. Myers, grandson Joseph P. Trunz IV, brother Harry Wright, and sister Dorothy McGowan. She is survived by her daughter Donna Trunz and husband Joseph, grandson James Trunz, and granddaughter Tatiana Trunz, brother Howard Wright, sister Mary Kaye, and sister Linda Mansfield. In her early years Dolores was raised by her single mother, Sarah, who struggled to make ends meet. From Sarah Dolores learned about faith, hard work, and perseverence. She often quoted her mother as saying “we’ll make do”, and was proud to tell stories of how they made clothing and bed linens from colorful flour sacks. Dolores helped to care for her younger brother, Harry, and greatly admired her older brother, Howard. During her teen years three new sisters Dorothy, Mary, and Linda were born into her life after Sarah married “Mike” Tyler. Dolores had very fond memories of her family and growing up on the farm. She held great respect for farmers throughout her life; their strength and resilience, awareness of the land, connection to the animals, and importance to the community. Dolores was blessed with nearly 70 happy years of marriage to her devoted husband James. Jim fell in love the moment he saw her, but Dolores didn’t acknowledge her own physical beauty. She never wore makeup or spent money on extravagant clothing. She preferred to help someone in need, rather than waste money on appearances. She devoted most her energy to being a mother, and later a grandmother, always putting the needs and desires of her family before her own. She was a stay at home mom until her daughter entered high school. Then returned to work determined to send her daughter to college. She enjoyed work and quickly made many friends with her easy going personality and great sense of humor. During her retirement years, she used the sewing and embroidery skills she learned as a young girl to pursue quilting and created over 40 intricate works of art. Dolores was a strong and faithful woman. During the last 6 months of her life, as she bravely battled cancer, she continued to show concern for others and never lost her trust in God. Through it all, she always considered her life to be blessed. Rest assured though gone from our sight, her beautiful soul still keeps watch from heaven.
