Sad News: Myra Beniger

We received the following sad news from a friend of Myra's today:

"Regrettably, Myra Beniger, my uncle's long-time friend and folk-dancing partner, passed away on April 3, as a result of complications from the coronavirus.  She was in a nursing home in Westmont at the time she became ill.  Her funeral is this coming Tuesday at Woodlawn Cemetery in Forest Park.  I am in the process of writing an obituary and was wondering if you might have a good picture of her from her folk-dancing days that I might be able to submit along with the obituary.
I trust that you both are well, along with the other members of the Argonne Folk Dancers.  Once again, many thanks for all the love and kindness that the Argonne Folk Dancers extended to Bob and Myra."

Mike found this photo of Myra with the U of C group from some time ago:
