Myrtle Margaret Mudrik was born on August 14, 1933 in Gull Lake, Saskatchewan. Myrtle lived in the Pathlow area when she met the love of her life, Joseph Mudrik. They were married November 26, 1949 in Tisdale, Saskatchewan. Three children were born of this union: Michael, Melvian and Marianne.

Myrtle & Joseph raised their children on the farm near Pathlow. After the children were grown, Myrtle started working in Melfort, first at Taste Rite Bakery and then at the Pioneer Lodge. She loved to go fishing up at Jan Lake. Myrtle and Joseph loved to travel and went to Nova Scotia and BC to visit with family.

In 1987 they moved their house to an acreage north of Melfort where they resided until 2005 when they moved to Melfort. In November, 2009, Joseph and Myrtle celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. This occasion was made extra special with letters and certificates from the Queen, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Premier Brad Wall as well as several others.

Myrtle was a hard-working and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She loved to have the grandchildren come and always had special things for them to play with. Soon after Joseph’s passing on February 14, 2010, Myrtle was diagnosed with two types of cancer. Her battle was short but courageous. She passed away on May 31, 2011.

Myrtle leaves to mourn her children Michael (Sandra) Mudrik, and their children Jenilee and Jamie; daughter Melvian Hilliar and her children Pamela (Dale) Wojciechowski and their children Bradley, Ashton, Dylan, and Case; Jason Stasiuk; Marie (Terry) Vhal and their son Lucas; daughter Marianne Ganton and her children Randy (Kirsten) Ganton and their children Savanah, Brennon, Reagan and Jordan, Jeremy Ganton, Brittany Ganton and her children Michael and Hope, Christina Closter and Daniel Young. She will be greatly missed and will be fondly remembered by all.
