After marrying her husband, Bryant Hughes, they lived in several states over the next few years including Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia and Mississippi. Myra started and maintained a jewelry company, Ferrari Unlimited, during the years they lived in Atlanta. After their children graduated high school, Myra and Bryant lived outside of Washington DC for a few years before moving back to Mississippi. She developed an extensive network of friends while working as a sales representative for jewelry and accessory companies (Southern Accessories Today and Hobo Purses) across the southeast and has maintained many of these friendships over the years. Myra and Bryant retired to Oxford, MS where they have lived for the past ten years. As she moved into retirement, she loved to garden, have parties with her friends, and focus her loving attention on her grandchildren. She cherished her very close group of friends in Oxford… the Magnolias. She is survived by her husband, Bryant Hughes, sister, Becky Miller Tollison of Ruleville, MS, daughter, Lacy Hughes of Carbondale CO, son, Brandon Hughes (Emily) and two grandchildren (Wren and Ford) of Etowah, NC. She will be greatly missed but her family is so proud to celebrate her wonderful life. In lieu of traditional flowers the family has requested that monetary donations be given to the Oxford Animal Resource Center (https://tinyurl.com/2e3atncz) or a local animal shelter of the donors choosing. Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford is honored to serve the Hughes Family as they begin to journey through this new season of life.
