Elizabeth Hook Myles

1927 -2016

Peacefully and with her family by her side, Biz passed away on March 29, 2016.

Biz was born in Kenora on January 30, 1927, where she lived her entire life.

She was predeceased by her parents, Doug and Frances Hook and by her loving husband, Colin "Moon" Myles in 1989 and missed him until her dying day.

Surviving are her children Ken (Sylvia) Myles, Jane (Wayne) England, Mary (Matt) Charles and Joanie (Al) Smith. She is also survived by her siblings Jane Hayakawa, Doug (Michelle) Hook and Jim (Marg) Hook, as well as by several nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Jennifer, Anthony, Sheila, Janice, Colleen, Russell, Aly, Karen, Mac and Reid, as well as her great grandchildren Abby, Quenton, Owen, Audrey, Everett, Isla, Blythe and Hunter.

Biz grew up in and was always in the family tourist business, which included Hook's Muskie Camp at Big Narrows, Separation Lake Camp and Ash Rapids Camp. She and Colin also operated a number of small businesses out of their home and especially enjoyed building, operating and maintaining the lifts and hills at Mount Evergreen Ski Club.

Her hobbies included sewing, knitting and needle work, all at which she excelled. Many commented on her beautiful clothing most of which she made herself. She was also an avid gardener which gave her great joy.

Special thanks to Dr. Michelle Thomas for her compassionate care over the years, her home care workers especially Alana, Lisa and Lana. We would also like to thank Dr. Brad Kyle, Dr. Shannon Wiebe as well as the wonderful nurses and palliative care staff at the hospital during her brief stay. Their personal care and attention meant so much to all of us.

Biz was a member of Notre Dame Catholic Church all of her life. Funeral services will be held on April 4, 2016 at 1l:00 a.m. at Notre Dame Catholic Church with Father Rudy officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Palliative Care Unit at Lake of the Woods District Hospital, or the Lake of the Woods Hospital Foundation, or a charity of one's choice would be appreciated.
