MYRTLE MARIE HOLTON (SPENCER) September 2, 1924 - June 28, 2011 Mom passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning, June 28, 2011 at the Deer Lodge Centre. She was predeceased by her husband Bernie and son Pat, daughter-in-law Denise and granddaughter Meagan. She is survived by her son Larry and his wife Linda and children, as well as her daughter-in-law Carol Holton and family and daughter Janice and husband Ken Mack and family. She will also be missed by her niece Lori (Don), as well as nephew Ross (Kathy). As very special thanks goes to lifelong family friend Joann Lough for the undying love and support she gave to Mom for many years. You are a very special person to our family. There are many friends who took the time to see Mom at Deer Lodge. Thank you so much for your kindness. Mom was blessed to have 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Any time a new picture was made available she showed it with much happiness and pride. Mom was affectionately know as Gran to all who loved her. She always had time for a game of cards and a sip or two. Taking a quarter from her in a game of cards was a risky undertaking. After Dad's passing in 2008, Mom moved into Sturgeon Creek II where she made many great friends. There was a special group known as the Girls . Thank you for the special friendships you had. Our family will now keep our faith that there is a better place and Mom is reunited with loved ones. The staff at Deer Lodge 4 west was wonderful. Thanks for your compassion. Mom's wishes did not include a service. A private family gathering has taken place. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the charity of choice. You were one of the best Mom.
