Myrtle Mae (Townsend) Sherman
1934-2024
Myrtle Mae (Townsend)
Sherman, 89, of Kentville, passed away peacefully in Orchard
Court-Shannex, Kentville on Sunday, May 12, 2024. Born on May 26,
1934, in West Head, Shelburne Co., she was a daughter of the late
Ernest «Mervin» and Arabella «Addie» (Stuart)
Townsend.
Myrtle was fiercely
loyal to those she loved, and she shared a close bond with her
siblings, especially her sister Shirley. She was most happy when the
family was all together, and the house was full of songs, stories and
laughter. In spite of multiple health challenges Myrtle maintained a
love of life and was incredibly tenacious. Extremely talented, she
excelled at whatever artistic medium she chose: poetry, pottery,
painting, music, sewing, needlework or floral design. She was not
afraid to try new things, whether it was learning sign language or
taking computer graphic courses and learning an instrument in her
senior years. She loved to keep busy, and would often be
found chatting on the phone, knitting or engrossed in a good
book.
Myrtle was a very
social person and developed many lifelong friendships, with new
friends added in recent years from within the Shannex community. She
also loved her pets and two in particular that held a special place in
her heart were her cat Pixie and Coco, her African Grey
parrot.
Myrtle is survived by
her daughter, Patricia «Lynn» Townsend, Ottawa, ON; son,
Leslie «Russell» Hake (Vicki Zietsoff), Cranbook, BC;
stepsons, Elliott Sherman, Ottawa, ON; and David Sherman, Morin
Heights, QC; brothers, Terrance (Ruth) Townsend, Ontario; and Russell
(Carolyn) Townsend, Halifax; grandchildren, Rivkah, Natalie and Ryan;
great-granddaughter, Emily Lynn; great great-grandsons, Garrett and
Liam; as well as several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her
parents, Myrtle was predeceased by her sister and brother-in-law,
Shirley (George) Crowell; and husbands, Loraine Curll, Gordon
Henderson and Samuel Sherman.
Cremation has taken
place and there will be no visitation by
request. A small graveside service will be held
in Elm Grove Cemetery on Monday, July 29th at
2:00 p.m. Funeral arrangements have been
entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services,
