Myra was blessed with three children; two sons and a daughter; John Harbin, and Dana Harbin Reese, both of Conover, Jerry and Julie Harbin, of Claremont, and a stepdaughter Karie Isenhour Meixner of Bethlehem.

Her greatest joy was her six grandchildren, and her great-grandson; Amber Hudson, Brittney Reese and Hannah Parker, Cory Reese, Maecie Brumley, Maggie Baker, and Kristen Helms. Ashton Campbell was her only great-grandchild.
