Myrna Lynn (Selfridge) Garrett

She’s the whisper of leaves as you walk down the street.

She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

She’s the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well.

She’s your breath in the air on a cold winters’ day.

She is the sound of rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of the rainbow.

She is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter.

She’s the place you come from, your first home.

She's the map you follow with every step you take.

She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy.

But nothing on Earth can separate you.

Not time.

Not space.

Not even death.

The beautiful life of Myrna Lynn Garrett began on July 26, 1963.

Myrna is lovingly remembered by her husband of 42 years, Perry Garrett; her daughter Lindsay (Tyler) Nylander and their children Abby, Sawyer, Amelia Myrna, and Myrna’s bonus grandson Madden (Jessica) and their son Pearson; her son Sean (Kati-Ann) and their children Avery, Wylder, and soon to be another grand-baby; her mom Joyce Ham; her sister Wendi Selfridge (Kooch) and their children Tyler and Paige; her brothers-in-law Rick (Michele) and Tim (Bonnie); her sister-in-law Shannon (Tim) Johnson; her “adopted children”; her Wetaskiwin Emerg work family; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, family, and friends.

Myrna was predeceased by her dad Fred Selfridge; her mother-in-law Janice Garrett; and her father-in-law Dick Garrett.

Myrna and her family would like to extend a special thank you to Myrna’s Wetaskiwin emergency work family for all the love, support, and care provided to Myrna and her family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are gratefully accepted to Old MacDonald Kennel or any charity of your choice.

Despite mom’s (our cruise directors) request to not have a Celebration of Life, a private family Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
