Brenda Myers

Brenda Myers, 80, of Thomasville, GA, passed away on Saturday – October 10, 2026.

Brenda was born in Thomasville, GA on July 20, 1946 to the late Howard Carter and Nellie Ruth Willingham and was also raised by her stepdad Charlie Hammock. She was a graduate of Thomas Technical Institute where she earned a Cosmetology Degree. She was married to the love of her life, Samuel "Buck" Myers, for over 50 wonderful years. She worked as a Manager for Quincy’s Restaurant but soon was able to get her CDL’s and enjoyed traveling with her husband driving trucks. They had plenty of stories to tell of all their adventures together. After retirement they loved to ride motorcycles and spend more time with their kids and grandchildren. After Buck’s passing in 2014 she moved to Jackson, GA to be closer to her family where she enjoyed many weekends filled with dirt roads in the jeep with her daughters. When they weren’t riding dirt-roads they were chasing all the yard sales. Her greatest joy in life was being with her kids and grandkids. We will always have an empty space in our hearts that only she could fill but we know she is walking the streets of Heaven with all of her loved ones that have gone before her. We will see you again Mama. We will keep your memory alive in all that you were and will continue to be in our lives.

Thoughts from her grandchildren… My beautiful Grandma, you will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for your love, your kindness, and the precious memories we shared. I will always cherish our talks, your warm hugs, and the way you made every family gathering feel special. Your gentle heart, beautiful smile, and unwavering love made you one of the most important people in my life. Although my heart is broken that you’re gone, I find comfort in knowing that your love will always be with me. No matter how much time passes, I will carry you in my heart forever. You weren’t just my grandma; you were a blessing in my life. I love you always and will miss you more than words can say. Until we meet again, Grandma.

-Something about Grandma/ Moma was someone who lived a life full of travel, adventure, and love. She loved to share stories of her travels with Daddy /Papa, getting lost on back roads, yard sales, and riding motorcycles. Her life can’t be defined by a single word but by a multitude of stories. She lived life to the fullest and loved fully. Not a day will go by that she will not be missed and thought of on this earth. Peace is knowing she is with our father in heaven, greeted by those who loved her and riding the streets of gold on her motorcycle next to the love of her life. You will be in our hearts forever but we will see each other again.

Childhood summers at her house were unmatched, from fishing, to turning over boats in the back pond, swimming in the pool that we weren’t allowed to pee in (even though we did) to getting enough berries together for her to bake a pie. The smell of moth balls ill never forget. Lol. Gosh there is so much I could say, my mind is flooded with memories even ones I thought I had forgotten. Watch out! When that woman had a gun, just stand still and pray.

She is survived by; her children, Michelle Sanders beloved son in law (John), Theresa Hunt, and Buck Myers (Lyn), 8 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren, and her siblings, Tommy Carter (Pat), and Wanda Carter Young.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by a sister, Sonja Carter. 

A Graveside Service will be held at New Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery - 6623 Lower Meigs Rd, Meigs, GA on Saturday – November 7, 2026 at 12:00 pm. The family will be gathering behind the church at the campground following the service.
