Ethel Myrah’s family is saddened to announce her passing at home in Saskatoon at the age of 95. Ethel (nee Pederson) was born in Provost, Alberta. After attending Briercrest Bible Institute in Caronport, Saskatchewan, Ethel married Norton Myrah in 1944 and they settled in Prince Albert, where they raised four children.

Norton and Ethel were life-long members of the Evangelical Covenant Church, first in Prince Albert and then in Saskatoon. Ethel cherished her family and they cherished her in return. She is survived by her four children – Jehryl, Marilyn, Lee, and Ted (Nancy), 11 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, 4 great-great-grandchildren, and a sister-in-law. She was predeceased by her loving husband Norton in 2013 after 69 years of marriage, her son-in-law Stewart Ballantyne, her son-in-law Sam Zukowski, a special great-granddaughter Kit Payette, and her 1 brother and 1 sister.
