Madge Jean Myers

Madge Myers was born in Saskatoon living with her parents, grandparents and sister.  

After high school she was employed by the then Saskatchewan Government Telephones first as switchboard and later as information. She was a supervisor prior to early retirement from SaskTel and we can assume by knowing her she was kind and diplomatic to her staff. 

She was a long-time lover of animals, especially cats, her first being a large white fluffy and very deaf cat named Tammy.  She spent her evenings for many years doing sight defying cross stitch, which she herself matted and framed, and knitted countless sweaters and cat nip toys.  

In the 60’s she went square dancing, and she wore a wig for style though she had beautiful hair. In the 70’s she bought her first car, a red pacer.  With each of her homes she lived in, they reflected her passions and were always proudly maintained, upgraded, and decorated. In  1978  Madge  and  Gwen  enjoyed  a  special  trip  to  England  to  visit  with  relatives only known  through  letter  writing  by her  grandma.  One  letter  writing  cousin  was  named  Madge whom our Madge was named after.

The first part of her early retirement from SaskTel was spent assisting her sister with her illnesses. Her energy then turned to assisting her mom with her concerns. She later moved to Lanigan where  she  purchased  her  sweet  home  and  lived  with  her  fur  babies.   She  loved  her  church, her Lord, her home, her volunteering, and meeting perspective new friends.

She was a sister, an aunt, cousin and friend and to her delight she was also a grandma.

She  was  predeceased  by  parents:  Carl  and  Gwen;  sister,  Ethel;  and  many  kitties  that  awaited her at the Rainbow Bridge.  She leaves to celebrate her beautiful spirit: brother; Terry (Sherry);  two  nieces:  Emery  and  Madison;  cousin,  Anna  (Gerry);  special  companion  in  care  and  friendship, Sara; good friends: Linda and Diane; and other relatives and friends. 

A Funeral Service was held on Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. from Knox United Church Lanigan officiated by Rev. Frances Kitson.  Interment followed at Woodlawn Cemetery Saskatoon. 

Perfect peace and wholeness be with Madge.
