It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beautiful sister Myrtle Elizabeth Boutilier who passed away peacefully with family by her side on February 17, 2022. Born on November 15, 1947 to the late Gordon and Frances (Clements) Boutilier.
Myrtle spent the earlier part of her life in Toronto with her husband Sonny, helping him supervise apartment buildings. She was also a foster mother to many children. Myrtle returned home in the early nineties after the passing of her husband and resided with her brother Clifford whom she loved dearly.
