    Age 88, of Stanley, Hants Co., passed away peacefully in Melville Lodge, Halifax, on December 20, 2013. Born on October 29, 1925 and raised in Windsor, she was the youngest child of the late Alexander and Blanche (Herring) MacPherson. After graduating from Windsor A­cademy, Myrtle taught school for one year in Greenhill and then en­tered the Aberdeen Hospital School of Nursing, New Glasgow, where she graduated in 1949 as a Regis­tered Nurse.

She was a member of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Women’s Institute, ACW, the alter guild of St. Stephen’s, the parish choir, and was a canvasser for the Canadian Cancer Society. Her invol­vement in her community often re­flected the interests and activities of her children - Sunday school, church youth groups, and 4-H.
