Earl O. Meyer

Earl O. Meyer, 96, of Forsyth, MO.

Earl O. Meyer, 96, of Forsyth, MO entered the gates of heaven at home on March 4, 2022. Born in Litchfield, IL on November 25, 1925, to William H. and Esther (Striegel) Meyer, he was the second child to his parents with older brother Delmar, and younger siblings, Marvella (Marvey), Dolores (Dodie), Kenneth (Kenny).

Earl married the love of his life, Ramona Eileen Duff, on August 22, 1945. Together they had two children; Judith Ann, born and passed on March 19, 1946 and Dennis Earl born on August 21, 1949. Sadly, Ramona passed on September 3, 1949.

He helped out on the family farm during his younger life, and had a part time painting business for many years. Earl began working at Litchfield Creamery Company (Milnot) at the age of 19, retiring from there after 43 years of service. He then moved down to Forsyth, MO to be with his son and family and enjoy retirement.

He filled his years with activities he loved; gardening, canning, taking walks with his beloved dogs, carpentry and building, and spending time with his one and only granddaughter, Jamie (Meyer) Findley, which he absolutely adored. He spent much of his time helping take care of her and making memories. He got to walk her down the aisle in 2012 at her wedding to Cole and has since been a loving great grandfather, “G”, to his three great grandchildren; Hagen, Asher, and Cooper.

Earl lived a very full life, with lots of laughs and smiles, but also heartache. His sharp brain is something that amazed many, he never forgot anything and could tell you the exact names in a story from his past or tell you to the penny of what a tool cost him years ago. He will be thoroughly missed by his family, but the many loving memories we have will live on in our hearts.

Earl is proceeded in death by his parents; his wife, Ramona; daughter, Judith; brother Delmar and wife Betty Meyer; brother, Kenny Meyer; sister Marvey and husband Howard Carney; and brother in law, Darrell Egelhoff. He is survived by his sister, Dodie Egelhoff; sister in law Beverly Meyer; son, Dennis; granddaughter, Jamie (Cole); and great grandchildren, Hagen, Asher, and Cooper Findley.

Memorial services will be held at Snapp-Bearden Funeral Home & Crematory in Branson, MO on Monday, March 14, 2022 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM with Pastor Jeramie Henson speaking at 6:30. A private family service will be held in Litchfield at a different date.

In Earl's memory, donations may be made to Integrity Hospice, 2960 N. Eastgate, Springfield, MO 65803.
