Former New Liskeard resident, Myrtle “Myrt” Grace Leroy of Morrisburg, died peacefully on Monday, January 6, 2014, from complications associated with a severe flu at the age of 84.

Myrtle was born March 17, 1929, in Owen Sound, Ontario, to parents Harry and Leah Lavina “Inez” (nee Malloy) Montgomery. 

As a young woman, Myrt met Cliff, whom she married on December 26, 1950, and loved throughout their 63 years of marriage.  

Myrt was beloved wife to Cliff, mother to Rick (Peggy) of Morrisburg, Janice (Doug Brown) of Vancouver and Dawn (Craig Bremner) of Victoria.

She was dear grandmother to Michael, Warren, Adrienne, Cameron and Matthew and aunt to many nieces and nephews.  She will be sadly missed by all.

Before Alzheimers began its slow siphoning of her essence, Myrtle was the home, the cornerstone, the silver-lining finder, and the inspirer of her family. 

Never one to take the spotlight, (except when singing with niece, Kathleen), she preferred to work her magic behind the scenes, encouraging, cajoling, congratulating and comforting.  

She lived what looked like an ordinary life, but filled each of those ordinary days with unflinching colour, never afraid to take the bad with the good, and never watering down a single experience. 

A family gathering to celebrate Myrt’s life will be held this summer.

Those who so desire may make memorial donations in memory of Myrtle to the Alzheimer Society.  

Parker Funeral Home (613 543-2271) is entrusted with arrangements.
