Myra Helen McInnis Gordon

Myra was an amazing wife, uncompromising mother, gentle grandmother, and devoted sister. She was a second mom to many.

Myra worked and taught tirelessly and lovingly at the Alabama School for the Deaf in Talladega for 30 years. She loved the outdoors, hiking, the mountains, and the beaches. She had a soft spot for animals, Snoopy, and "The Golden Girls."

Myra was predeceased by her parents, Helen Willoughby McInnis and Johnny Grady McInnis. Survivors include Myra's husband, William Ransome "Rann" Gordon, Jr.; one daughter, Amy Jones (Patrick); one son, Trey Gordon; two grandchildren, Mia Jones and Wyatt Jones; a sister, Sara M. Shuman (Tim); two brothers, Johnny B. McInnis (Dana) and Steven W. McInnis (Teri); many extended family members; and Myra's spoiled dog, Cooper.
