It was an honor to know the wonderful Myrtle. She came to our house many time to play an instrument be it piano, banjo, drums, fiddle, guitar or just to sing.

Sending our condolences to Myrtle's family. Myrtle was so full of life. When I started my teaching career I worked with Myrtle and it was obvious she loved life and made the most of every moment. Even when I would see her after her retirement she still seemed like she had never aged. Thinking of you all! ~ Brenda and Danny Cox

Mrs White was an amazing teacher and I can honestly say I enjoyed every day in her classroom. It was exciting to be in her presence just because she was so nice. Smiles, a helping hand and unconditional acceptance. She lived with joy in her heart everyday. Grateful for that time with her. Condolences to the family; there is no way to not miss a life force like that. Julie Nielsen

NEVER A DULL MOMENT ! There are just not enough accolades for our Auntie Myrt. She was one of a kind indeed ! Love and hugs everyone. Karen ( Parks) & Michel Seguin

Our sincere condolences to everyone in Nova Scotia who knew Myrtle. As newcomers to the area after purchasing Myrtle's house in 2017, we quickly found out that we would happily be known as the folks in "Myrtle's old place". Rarely does a day go by where the mention of Myrtle's name to complete strangers from just about anywhere, resulted in huge smiles and heartfelt stories of how they knew Myrtle; usually about her life as a teacher or meeting her 'on the road' at the music festivals. We too, were immediately welcomed into 'her world' when we met her. A beautiful, lively soul with more energy than the two of us combined. We will both miss her dearly.

Dear Jo-Anne and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have warm memories of you taking me to your home one weekend so I could go to a "country dance". I remember you mothers kindness and warmth and she was so welcoming to a stranger that worked with her daughter. My sincere condolences and much love.

Myrtle's family, so sorry for your loss. May your loving memories bring you comfort.

My deep condolences to Myrtle's family.I met Myrtle in Florida and she welcomed us with open arms.She was always so much fun and a wonderful person .I will always remember the way you made me feel.So happy you get to dance with your husband again.Love you Myrtle.❤️🙏🏻

Our deepest condolences to Myrtle's entire family. A life lived to the fullest. The perfect way...with an abundance of light, love and laughter. ❤️

Sorry for your loss. Sincere condolences to the family.Myrtle was a beautiful dancer and loved to yodel.Our thoughts are with you all. Love Dorothy and Fred. Nancy and Keith (Clark)

Mrs White.. she was the most amazing teacher. She will never truly be gone. A little piece of her lives on in hundreds of us, her lucky students.

My sincere condolences to the family. I recall spending many days/nights with Jo-anne and lots of friends in the pool down in the woods. Myrtle was one of a kind. Amazing lady, thoughtful, joker and always went out of her way to come and sit down beside me to chat at the Noel dances. Noel will never be the same without her smile and humor! She will be missed dearly! Love you Myrtle and rest in peace my friend! Debbie Shea (Clark)

"Wherever a beautiful soul has been there is a trail of beautiful memories!" I have fond memories of a trip to Florida with my Mom many years ago that your parents were there and they truly made the trip a lot of fun! My heartfelt condolences to you all! Lori Anne Smith Webb

Very sorry for your loss..we send our love and prayers.Myrtle was one of a kind as was Rawleigh..Rest in peace

Such a very special lady who never failed to make me smile any time she was near. Sincere condolences to her family.

Our sincere condolences to the entire family. Heaven has received a most wonderful angel in Myrtle. She will make the bells ring.

My last encounter with Myrtle was at the coffee shop in Kennetcook several years ago I was at the drive-thru window ready to pay and pick up my order when the employee at the window told me my order was paid for. I look up past the employee and notice Myrtle standing at the inside customer counter waving at me with her big smile, I wave right back with a big thank you She will be missed by many

We are sending our heartfelt condolences to the family, just now reading the news about Myrtle's illness and passing. We had a lovely visit with her in the summer of 2018 when she came to visit my Dad, Andrew, when he was ill. She was one of a kind. There was always lots of stories, laughter and great energy when she was around, with great conversation on endless topics, even the serious and difficult parts of life. It makes sense that she would be a strong advocate for MAID and it's comforting to know that she was able to have that, for herself and her family. Andrea Smith, and mother Gerry

On behalf of Jake and Gail Arscott... "We fondly remember Rollie and Myrtle at the dances. They were a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. I (Jake) had the privilege of working with Rollie at Hants North and immensely enjoyed it. To the family and friends of this sparkplug of a woman, who lit up the room, just by walking in it, we extend to you our most sincere sympathy. You are in our hearts and prayers. Carry her legacy by always seeing the humor in every situation, by doing a jig for no reason and making other people feel so comfortable, as she did, in your presence. We know in our hearts that this beautiful woman has been reunited with her womderful husband. And are most likely doing the polka together in heaven. May Myrtle rest in peace, within the arms of Jesus. Sincerely, Jake and Gail.

To Myrtle's family and friends, our most sincere sympathy. For many years we enjoyed her so much at the Noel legion brunches. Always came to sit with us and many others to have a chat. Always greeted us with her yodeling. She will be missed by many.

Sincerest condolences to Myrtle's family and friends. She truly was a beautiful lady - inside and out.

So sorry to hear of Aunt Myrtle's passing. I have fond memories of you visiting us in Ont. and your Mom and Dad taking David and I to our first Noel Road ball game. Take care. Lois

We would often end up at Myrtle's on Friday night to make Kraft pizza in her kitchen. She was welcoming and kind, funny and like a second mother to all of us. Godspeed, sweet lady. Sonya Singer

Condolences to all of Myrtle's family. I'm sure she yodeled her way to heaven's gate, made the rounds to see who was there and had a party started shortly after. What a celebration of life that would be. She will always be around in your memories to comfort you. Eleanor and Phillip MacDonald

Myrtle sounds like she sure had the joy of life and a true blessing to all who knew her. Condolences to all her family and especially my friends Bob and Judy.

there are several memories of myrtle running thru my head and all happy and vibrant--youdling chatting but i think my most favourite one is of the multigenerational music that the white family did one christmas myrtle being the lead and i believe her greatgrandchild on a baby piano ---it was somethig tto behold---please keep her memories close and she will never be far away

My sincere condolences to Myrtles family at this most difficult time. Myrtle was such a lovely person who lived her life in the most positive way possible. We shared many "baseball camping trips" and she was always full of fun and very entertaining. I will never forget my trip to her Florida house. She saw me at Kim's and said "Paulette you should come with us" and off we went. What a wonderful time we had. She was so welcoming, gracious and made everything an adventure and fun. She will live on in your memories and your heart forever and always be with you. She is very happy now, I know with her beloved Raleigh and dancing in his loving arms once again. Sing and yodel with the angels sweet lady.

So sorry for your loss. I just said to Mom tonight that everyone should love life to the fullest just like Myrtle.I am so pleased that you all were brave enough to allow your Mom to chose the way and the time for her to leave you. The best gift of all. Hugs Cindy, Bruce and Hannah Withrow.

So sorry to hear about Myrtle - always a live wire, ready to jump in and help. She will be missed, so glad she was in control and able to choose. Charlotte White Meredith

Our sincere condolences to all Myrtles family and friends ....

She was always a joy to be around. May her light shine bright on the other side ♥️

My deepest condolences to Myrtles' Family, and Friends. She was the most loved school teacher there ever was! I am so blessed to have had the privilege to be a student in her classroom; not only once but twice! She taught me in grade one and grade six! Myrtles' classroom was a place to learn and always a place for fun! We were always greeted with the "Good Morning Song!" and a HUGE smile! Oh so many songs, dances and little jingles we learned from her. Myrtle even had jingles to help us learn; "The provinces of Canada are fun to remember, fun to remember!" was a little jingle she whipped up! Myrtle made learning fun and easy! I catch myself singing them songs now and again; they have always made me think of her. Darn though, she forgot to teach us how to yodel, I will be no competition for the yodeling contest! So many fond memories in those classrooms that everyone will always hold dearly. A little piece of her is in all of us who had the pleasure of knowing her. There is no one in this world like your Mother. She was an exceptional woman and she will be with you forever.

Condolences to all the family. Such a wonderful lady and a joy to be around. She will certainly be missed.

Our sincere condolences to the family. She was one of the most joyful people we ever had the pleasure of knowing....no shortage of laughter when she was around. I'm sure your memories of her will bring you much comfort. Elbert and Janet

Myrtle was my most favourite, funniest teacher in elementary. As I got older , I got to know her as an adult and she was the same old Myrtle. We always knew when Myrtle arrived at our daily coffee group, we'd hear her before seeing her. She'd be yodeling or singing as she opened the door. She certainly could "liven" up a room, and I'm sure she is partying up a storm today. My sincere condolences go out to all family .

Our sincere condolences to the Family , Myrtle was such a ray of light and always had a kind word .

Sending condolences to all the family. She was a great lady and will be truly missed by everyone.

My sincere condolences to the family she was a wonderful person always smiling always laughing loved watching them dance at the dances an amazing couple my prayers and thoughts are with you all Fran Green
