She is survived by sisters-in-law Bernice MacKay, Lillian Misener, Elizabeth Tario, Pauline Boychuk and Dorinda Young and by brothers-in-law Jack Myers (Alma), Eric Myers (Faye), Frank Myers (Glenda) and Jim Myers (Barb). Mabel will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews. Friends may call at the Arthur Funeral Home & Cremation Centre on Wednesday, May 28 from 12:30 p.m. until time of the service in the chapel at 2:30 p.m. with Mrs. Janet Norman officiating. Interment at Greenwood Cemetery. Memorial contributions to the Salvation Army or the Cancer Care Unit at SAH would be appreciated by the family. Mabel was a true friend to many and took great pleasure in making shortbread cookies or sending flowers to anyone whom she felt needed to know she was thinking of them. She would also add them to her prayer list and tell them so. Mabel was an active member of St. Andrew's United Church for over fifty years. Mabel volunteered for many years with the Canadian Cancer Society Service to Patients, Sooette Welfare Club and the Plummer Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Mabel graduated as a registered nurse from the Plummer Memorial Public Hospital in 1939 and she was very proud to be a nurse. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Erika Dahlmann and Betty Saarimaki, Diane Hilderly from CCAC, Nurses Karen Emlaw and Gilda Greco and the many kind staff members of Pathways Retirement Residence for all their loving care of Mabel.
