MYRTLE IRIS McINNES
(nee GREENAWAY)
On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 our
beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Myrtle passed away
peacefully at Riverview Health Centre at the age of 90 years.
Left to cherish Myrtle’s memory are
daughter Kathleen Friesen (Dave); sons Allan and Kerry McInnes (Joyce) of
Winnipeg; grandchildren Cory Friesen (Tania), Stacy Friesen-Finch (Trevor); Christina
Mills (Jeff), Jeffrey (Lisa) and Michael McInnes, Kelly Martin (James), Shauna
Lagimodiere (Doug), Robyn Cochrane-Fones (Tom); Jamie Cochrane, and Shaun
Cochrane; as well as many great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her
husband Allan in 1992; daughter Carol Shepherd in 2004; and son David in 1981.
Myrtle was born in Rosser, Manitoba
on November 20, 1922. She raised her family in the west end on Valour Road. She
was employed in the Civil Service until her retirement in 1984. Myrtle spent
many enjoyable years at their summer cottage in Spruce Sands and then wintering
in Tucson, Arizona making many friends in both locations. She fulfilled a
lifetime dream by returning to the homeland of her parents by spending several
weeks touring Ireland.
In compliance with Myrtle’s wishes
there will not be a Funeral Service.
The family wishes to thank the staff
of CR2 at Riverview Health Centre for the care and compassion given to Myrtle.

TO
MY FAMILY
I go
from you gently for it is my time,
To
take the next step in this journey of mine;
Don’t
grieve for me long – I’ve not left you alone,
For
I will be with you
In
the love that we’ve known,
That
love is forever and some day when it’s time
You’ll
join me again on this journey of mine.
