Her daughter Avis took care of her faithfully. Myrtle was an active member of the Salvation Army until the last few years but she always did her Bible reading every day and loved the Lord.

Those who choose may contribute a donation in her memory to the Canadian Red Cross, The Heart and Stroke Foundation or The Salvation Army.
Rest in Peace Mom. We Love You.
