She was born on Wednesday, September 3, 1949, in Independence, Louisiana, to the late Myra Forstall Schwartz and Pete Anthony Riggio. She was a resident of Hammond, Louisiana.

Myra loved her family deeply and always enjoyed spending time with them. She worked for many years as a certified nursing assistant caring for others with compassion and kindness. In her free time, she enjoyed being outdoors, gardening, and was an avid collector of Coca-Cola memorabilia. Myra loved watching football and was a big fan of the LSU Tigers and the New Orleans Saints. Cheering for her teams brought her a lot of joy.
