It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of Myrtle Mary Hobbs, who passed away on August 26, 2015 at the age of 84.
Myrtle was born in Shell Lake, Saskatchewan on Dec 3, 1931.
She moved from Saskatchewan to Salmon arm to start a life with former husband, Arnold Hobbs, where they raised three boys, Darrell, Reg and Kevin Hobbs.
While raising three boys, she managed to, farm, drive School bus, taxi and also worked at the Skimikin nursery.
Myrtle is predeceased by her brothers, Les, Harry and her father Ed Haftor.
She is survived by her sisters Clara and Hazel, brother Alec, former husband Arnold, children darrell, Reg, Kevin (Marian), 6 grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Hillside Village for their comfort and care of Myrtle in her last few days.
So sad to hear of Myrtle’s passing. I always admired Myrtle in that she lived her life her way, with a kind heart and an open mind, never giving a worry to what other people thought of her.
Fly free Myrtle.
