EDITH LYTLE It is with tremendous sadness that we say goodbye to Edith Lytle who passed away at the age of 87 years on October 19, 2011, at the Victoria General Hospital in Winnipeg. Edith was predeceased by her parents, father Peter Geddes, mother Anne (Fred) Shelley; and her husband of 52 years, Robert (Bert) Lytle. Left to mourn are her cousins Pat (Bill) Stevenson, Marilyn (Grant) Sorensen, and Anita Horgan; Bert's nieces and nephews, Yvonne and John Webb and family, Darlene and Morley Lytle and family, Doug and Barb Phillips and family, Blake Phillips and family, Judy and Bunny Trapp and family. She also leaves behind her adopted family, Cheryl Wyant, Raymond Wyant (Louise), Kristin Wyant (Daniel, Charlotte and Annika), Kerrie Wyant (Noah and Lucas), Graeme Wyant (Janice, Jaquie, Jordy and Riley), Clara and John Fjeldsted, Margaret Isley (Darren), Emily Fjeldsted (Philippe) and her close companions, Bill Stewart and his dog Molly. Edith was born in Winkler, Manitoba, on September 15, 1924. Following high school, she worked in Sheridan, Manitoba and then attended a business college in Winnipeg. She met and married Bert in 1953, and they lived for many years in Fort Whyte and then settled in Waverley Heights. Edith worked in accounting for many years with Hudson's Bay House and then Smith Carter Architects until her retirement. She and Bert enjoyed traveling, playing bridge in the company of friends, curling, dancing, visiting with family and friends and sharing tales of times gone by (growing up in Winkler, holiday adventures and her many trips to the farm in Swan River). She loved music and was a talented pianist, teaching piano lessons for many years. She loved children and animals, and derived tremendous pleasure from the company of both in her later years. Many thanks to Dr. Karen Boyd and Dr. Frank Martin for the excellent medical care they provided over the years. Special thanks to the many nurses and physicians at the Victoria General Hospital who provided such warm care during her final days. Funeral service will be held at Thomson in the Park on Saturday, October 29, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Edith and Robert Lytle Endowment Fund at the Saint Boniface Hospital Research Foundation and the Victoria General Hospital Foundation.

The world will miss her bright spirit. Edith and Bert were such a great couple and were so generous with their time. As a young visitor to the west, they made me feel so special in their warm circle. - Posted by: Jane Langlotz (daughter of Jim Beggs, Edith's cousin) on: Mar 11, 2012

I had been researching for family history. Someone had given me Edith's name and address and I had written her. A few days later they were in our area and came to visit. This was Edith & Bert and Edith's mother. I prepared a meal and we all had a great time visiting and learning new things about our wonderful, big family. Through letter writing we have kept in touch and one time we were together at my sister's place in Winnipeg. I'm sorry to hear of Edith's passing but will always remember the day they were here. - Posted by: Jeanette Cross (Second cousins) on: Jan 04, 2012
