Optician has learned of the sad passing of Christina Myers, the ‘Roche’ of Myers La Roche Limited, after a 13-year battle with multiple myeloma.

Myers’ daughter, Georgina, wrote to her LinkedIn network announcing the loss of her ‘extremely brave and lovely mum’ and sharing that she would be taking time out of the business while the family navigated their way through this.
