Myrtle McKay Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 30, 2016.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Myrtle Beatrice McKay on Sunday, May 29th, at the age of 98. Myrt was predeceased by her husband Bill in 2001. "Nan" will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Doreen Ellis (Steve) and sons Ray (Chris) and Glen McKay, granddaughters Noreen Harms (Ron), Marie Wangler (Don), Michele Kirkwood (Pat), Arlene Vogel (Peter), Colleen Hogg (Shane), Cathy Emmerson (Shawn), 17 great grandchildren, 2 great great grandchildren, and by so many others whose lives she touched and blessed.
Mryt and Bill loved their camping and fishing and playing cards like crib and cinch. Myrt was always the bell of the ball and loved to entertain us all, whether it was preforming in scattered skits or telling a joke. She was such an amazing person who will be with us always.
There will be a Celebration of Life for Myrt at the Union Bay Hall on Saturday, June 4th at 1:00pm.
