Myrtle made her home in Saskatoon where she taught for the Saskatoon Public School Board. Mom was our first teacher, and she had a life long interest in keeping her mind active. Her creativity shone with her oil paintings, sewing, designing clothes, knitting and quilting which are now heirlooms. She was actively involved in the church as a choir leader, Sunday school superintendent and she loved to play the piano for her family and friends. She will be forever cherished in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to a charity of choice.
