Jeffory Myers

(From Ulmer Funeral Home)

Jeffory L Myers, 75, of Carthage, passed away at his home surrounded by the family he loved on  Sunday, March 29, 2026. 

Jeffory was born on September 6, 1950, to the late George and Bessie
(White) Myers in Clayton, New Mexico. He attended Missouri Southern State University after  graduating from Carthage high school and then joined the National Guard. He was with Leggett and Platt for over 35 years where he retired as Manager of Engineering. His ceaseless curiosity led him to a lifetime of learning; both of new technology and of old traditions. He was a gamer, a rock collector, an avid reader, and was a huge history buff, specifically the Civil War era. 

Jeffory was joined in marriage to Linda Dame in 1972 in Carthage Missouri; she survives. 

Along with his wife, Linda Myers; Jeffory is survived by one son, Jefferson Myers (Neely) of Joplin, Missouri; two daughters, Jennifer Goodman (Brian) of Springfield, Missouri, and Kimberly Dame (Ryan) of Chandler, Arizona; four grandchildren, Logan Mincks, Hailey Goodman, Garrett Goodman, and Samuel Myers; and three half siblings; Homer Baugh of Carthage, Missouri, Blanche Fletcher of Carthage, Missouri and George Allen Myers of California. 

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Albert Myers; and three half siblings, Janice
Cole, Shirley Tullis and Kenneth Baugh. 

Per Jeffory’s wishes there will be a private family service that will be held at a later date.
