Myles, Jr. and wife Patty of Vinton, VA; four grandchildren, Tracy Myles Colona and husband Mike of Cashville, Travis Myles and wife Kelly of Onancock, Caleb Myles and wife Natalia of Virginia Beach, VA, and Paige Hale and husband Nathan of Vinton; a brother-in-law, Earnest “Mickey” Doughty of Temperanceville, VA; her very dear and special friend, Drue Kern Harmer of Hampton, VA; five great-grandchildren; two nieces; and three nephews.  In addition to her husband and parents, she was predeceased by a half-sister, Beverly Rhine Doughty.
