Von was at home with family, in Moriarty, New Mexico, where she was dealing with a recently diagnosed illness, when she crossed over. Born in Baird, Texas on May 29th 1951, to James William Myers Jr., and Evelyn Ruth Turner (Myers).

Those included work in construction (dynamite blasting), Silversmithing, Bead-crafting, Native American healing, wild-crafting natural herbs, teaching the Old ways, and working with less privileged humanity, through all of this, Von had a heart of LOVE- when there was a need; she always found a way to fill that need in others. Von’s love of things Sacred, was recognized by a very special individual, Marcellus” Bearheart” Williams. Von was truly honored by being adopted as his granddaughter.
