Myrtle was born near Stanley, MB on March 10, 1918 and just recently celebrated her 100 birthday. She spent time on the family farm in Brunkild and took care her parents on the weekends, in their later years. Most of her life was lived in Winnipeg. She was a long term employee with the Canadian Pacific Hotel chain. One of her biggest accomplishments was getting her driver's license and buying her first car when she was 73 years old, with the help from a close neighbor and a surprised salesman. Myrtle was also very family orientated and always wrote letters and kept in touch until her eyesight weakened in later years. She touched many hearts with her honesty and love and will be dearly missed. The family would like extend sincere thanks to all the staff at Thorvaldson's and Heritage Lodge for the care in her later years. She was also a member of Calvary Temple Church for many years.
