Garth MUNDLE Obituary

GARTH IRVING MUNDLE 1935 - 2019 On Monday, January 28, 2019, Garth journeyed from this life. He died in Ottawa after suffering a massive stroke. Born in Nova Scotia to Stanley and Alice (Coulter) Mundle in 1935, Garth grew up in Pugwash and could be found there in the 'yellow cabin' every summer since. Mourning his passing are his wife, Dorothy Naylor; son, Jim (Sandra); daughter, Carol (Jean); grandchildren, Heather, Isabelle and Andre; great-grandchild, Bella; brother, Eldon (Janice); sister, Carolyn Cameron; the extended Mundle family; the Naylor family; and a large network of friends. Son, David and grandchild, Tina, journeyed from this life before him. Garth was a faithful and skilled minister with many congregations in the United Church of Canada, and also served as principal of St. Stephen's College, Edmonton. He was passionate about progressive theology and social justice, delighted in music and dancing, and savoured simple pleasures such as a good hors d'oeuvre and aperitif before dinner. Approaching life with gusto, wit, and candour, he made gatherings he attended lively and thought-provoking events. Garth shared his talents and time freely, and will be greatly missed by those who knew and treasured him. To leave condolences, visit the Funeral Co-operative of Ottawa at www.fco-cfo.coop.

A wonderful, witty, curious, independent-minded human being, a good listener who would share his questions, insights, imagination and learnings, Garth was such an energetic and open interlocutor. As Dorothy has said, I am greatly grateful for times with him. His energy and spirit are with me yet. Paul
