Myra A. Bieri, age 68, beloved Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Friend died at her home on July 25, 2012, after a brief fight with cervical cancer.

She taught English and History at New Lisbon High School, and was the first to develop a curriculum for a Forensics' program there. For the majority of Myra's career, she was a champion for the Head start program. She worked tirelessly to uphold the values of the program and to encourage others to embrace the vision of Head Start. She loved the families and her co- workers. She felt lucky to work with and for all of you. Myra was also a proud lifelong democrat. She voted in every single election since she was legally able. She believed we all need to exercise this right.
