Myrtle Jardine

Myrtle Evelyn Jardine, age 79, passed away peacefully with family by her side on Sunday, February 4, 2018. Born on July 27, 1938 in New Castle, New Brunswick. 

Myrtle was an expert knitter, loved watching the birds, listening to country music and doing anything outdoors. Myrtle loved to travel and especially spend time on the East Coast with her many family members.

Family was the most important thing in the world to Myrtle. She was happiest during the time spent together with family, camping and gathered around the dinner table.

Cooking was another one of her passions. Her homemade bread, pies and fudge were legendary. Myrtle was a kind woman, known for hospitality and making everyone feel welcome. Her door was always open and fresh baked goodies were always on the counter.

Myrtle will be lovingly remembered by her husband Clifford Sr., daughters Rose and Betty, sons Clifford Jr. (Susan) and Charles; siblings Ronald (Phoebe), Louise; grandchildren Len (Carla), Colin (Val), Blythe (Kevin), Mandi and Josh; great-grandchildren Jade, Jordan Rae, Kyle, Janaya, Sara and Coby, her special friend Ileen Noyes, in-laws and lots of extended family in the East Coast.

She was predeceased by her infant son Roger, her parents George and Eileen Sherrard, sisters Hazel and Ida, and brothers Jack, Harley and Andy. 

Sincere thank you to the many family and friends who supported her in her journey. Special thanks to Dr. Lai, Dr. Azad, the Palliative care team and the staff on 1A.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Friday, February 9, 2018 beginning at 10:00 a.m. at Harbourview Funeral Centre. Visitation for family and friends will take place one hour prior to the service time. A reception will follow after. Interment will take place at Sunset Memorial Gardens.

If friends so desire, donations in Myrtle’s memory may be made to Salem Lutheran Church in Pass Lake, ON or a charity of their choice.
