In Loving Memory of
Myra Jeanette Brunk
August 18, 1938 — January 21, 2025
Myra Jeanette Brunk passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, at the age of 86 on January 21, 2025 after a short journey with cancer. Myra is the beloved wife of the late Donald Brunk whom she married on July 6, 1968. She is the mother of Lynnette Gerber (Chris Vardy) and Tracy Grace (Dean Lowrie) and nana of Jordyn Gerber (Braden Barteshewski), Brady Gerber, Caleigh White, and Kian White. She is the sister of Ruby Regier (Karl) and sister-in-law of Melvin (Alida) Brunk, Marilyn (late George) Wickham, and Ruth Anne Weber (Bill). She is fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. We will all miss her incredible love and care for her family, especially her grandchildren whom she affectionately referred to as her “awesome foursome”.
Myra was born in Guernsey, Saskatchewan, the eldest daughter of Harold and Eileen Biehn. She is predeceased by brothers Maynard and Elvern, and sister Saloma (in infancy). She enjoyed sharing stories about life on the farm, attending a one-room schoolhouse, and working as an RNA in the newborn nursery ward at University Hospital in Saskatoon before moving to Ontario. Myra was a country girl at heart and loved feeding the birds on her rural property north of Millbank, especially the yellow finches, orioles, hummingbirds, and her beloved bluebirds. She loved visits with family at the “farm” and providing comfort food to her grandchildren.
Myra had a gift for sewing curtains, clothes, skating dresses, prom dresses, and teddy bears made from fur coats or quilts; she even sewed her own wedding dress. She crocheted and knitted countless afghans, baby blankets, and sweaters with a unique left-handed technique that only she understood. She found great joy in spending hours in her gardens. The vegetable garden was filled with almost every vegetable that could be frozen or preserved and the flower garden was a beautiful display of daisies, black-eyed susans, gladiolas, lupins, roses and crocuses. Myra eagerly anticipated berry-picking and making jam with her family each summer. She took pride in regularly going for 2-mile walks with friends and family.
Words cannot express the gratitude we have as a family for the support we received from CarePartners and the staff and volunteers at the Rotary Hospice in Stratford. The patience, kindness, and compassion shown in caring for mom in her final chapter was a tremendous blessing. We’d like to extend a special thank-you to friends and neighbours as well for their generosity, especially over recent years.
Visitation will be held at the Mark Jutzi funeral home in Milverton on Sunday, January 26, 2025 from 12 – 4pm. As per her wishes, her family will celebrate her life with a private gathering. Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are greatly appreciated in supporting the incredible work of the Rotary Hospice in Stratford.
