Myrtle was born in Lower Cove on the Port au Port Peninsula. She moved with her family to Labrador in 1972 where she met her forever family with the residents of Capstan Island. She loved to bake, knit, pick berries, and play cards. Always quick to laugh and make others laugh, she was always gentle and unassuming. Our last visit had us waltzing to "The Northern Lights of Labrador", "Labrador Rose" and singing "The Ode to Labrador". For that I am forever grateful.
In keeping with her wishes cremation has take place. An inurnment will take place at a later date in Labrador.
A Mother's love is a blessing!
