Myrtle Bernice Roblee – 94, Belmont, passed away
peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on Thursday morning,
November 11, 2021, at Debert Court, Debert. Born in Belmont, she was a
daughter of the late Arthur and Sadie (Brunt)
Armsworthy.
Myrtle was a member of Belmont United Baptist Church. She
enjoyed quilting, crocheting and knitting, and each one of her
children and countless others have been gifted with her labours of
love where every stitch was stitched with love. She was a wonderful
cook and baker and worked at The Palliser Restaurant and various other
restaurants. She enjoyed being physically active and enjoyed being
outside in nature whether it was walking, skating or biking; her
children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will fondly remember
the many happy memories of their adventures with her. Apart from her
only children, she welcomed many foster children into her home over
the years, nurturing them as her own and giving them a stable and safe
home.
