Myrt married the man of her dreams Jim on May 23,1949. She loved the Etzikom farm life and raising her 4 children. Her delicious homemade bread, hamburger soup, lemon pie, and mincemeat squares were special requests by her family. Myrt loved entertaining, playing cards, reading and puzzles. She spent 13 years nursing her husband after he had a stroke. In 1984, Myrt moved to Medicine Hat. She adapted well to city life and loved Tiger Hockey games, new friends, her home and family. Her family and Grandkids looked forward to the weekends they stayed at Grandma Myrt’s. In August 2008 Myrt broke her hip; she then moved to The View in Lethbridge in October. Her health declined during the past 4 years and life wasn’t sweet. Myrt was fortunate to celebrate her 80th Birthday in Palm Desert, California with her children, and friends. She enjoyed being Queen for a day including a day of pampering, and a banquet complete with speeches and entertainment to celebrate her life! The funeral service will be held in the PATTISON CHAPEL on Friday, April 19, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. with Fr. Matthew Emmelkamp officiating. Interment will follow in the Hillside Cemetery.

Our most sincere condolences for your loss. May you find strength in the God of all comfort (2Corinthians1:3-4)
