She raised her family in the west end on Valour Road. She was employed in the Civil Service until her retirement in 1984. Myrtle spent many enjoyable years at their summer cottage in Spruce Sands and then wintering in Tucson, Arizona making many friends in both locations.

The family wishes to thank the staff of CR2 at Riverview Health Centre for the care and compassion given to Myrtle.

TO MY FAMILY I go from you gently for it is my time, To take the next step in this journey of mine; Don't grieve for me long I've not left you alone, For I will be with you In the love that we've known, That love is forever and some day when it's time You'll join me again on this journey of mine.

We have many good memories of your Mom and Dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. God Bless You! - Posted by: McInnes, Chriss/Roslyn/Morag/Tammy (Nieces) on: Nov 04, 2013

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I used to run into her once in a while at the Grant Park Shopping Centre. When we met, she always gave me such a warm greeting that made me feel that the memories she had of me, when I dated Dave, were good ones. I was only a young girl when we dated and although it didn't work out the way we thought it might, your mom still treated me with love and affection. It's not very often that someone can say that someone else's mom was the "greatest", but in this case I would say that's true. I'm thinking of all of you during this difficult time.

Myrtle was a wonderful mother-in-law and I have many fond memories of her. I had the pleasure of her company over several dinners held at my son's place over the years. Gone but not forgotten. - Posted by: Karen Drew (X- Daughter-in-law) on: Nov 04, 2013
