Obituary of Myrtle Gertrude Bennett
Please share a memory of Myrtle to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Myrtle Gertrude (Corkum) Bennett, 89 of Canning passed away on March 5, 2016 in Evergreen Nursing Home, Kentville.
Myrtle was a very positive happy spirited woman who loved having her family around and would always welcome anyone to visit anytime and never hesitated to add one more plate to the table. She loved a game of Bingo (7 nights a week if she could) she also loved driving to Port George and Blomidon for a day of yard sales or Frenchy shopping when she could. She loved to make quilts over the years and made sure one was left with as many family as possible. She would give anyone anything she had and go without to see them happy.
