Please join us in celebrating the life and legacy of Myra Mattes Ross, Green Chimneys Co-Founder.
On Thursday, March 28, 2019, Myra Ross died peacefully at the home of her daughter in Las Vegas, NV. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Myra understood her commitment to children, education and Green Chimneys. For over six decades Myra served as Clinical Coordinator and Director of Admissions here, intricately helping to build the foundation Green Chimneys thrives on today. Thirteen months prior, we celebrated the life of Myra’s husband and Green Chimneys Founder Samuel B. Ross, Jr. Now we’re extending our sincere sympathy to the Ross family once again. Our hearts are with the Rosses’ children, son Donald, daughter Lisa, daughter-in-law Mary, and granddaughters Samantha and Sara.

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
