Myrtle Jane (Edwardson) Braun

BRAUN, Myrtle Jane

November 20th, 1932 – July 9th, 2023

Myrtle Jane Braun was the youngest in her family born November 20th, 1932,

in Pender Harbour. 

She had a great love of music and worked after school to help with the purchase of a piano for the family. 

Later, she met the love of her life, Menno Braun; soon the handsome couple were married on January 27, 1949, and bought their little house in Selma Park.

She was happy being a homemaker and a mother to Gail and Zenith.

Myrtle devoted her life to Zenith's health and welfare, giving Zenith as many of life's opportunities as possible. 

Myrtle travelled the globe mostly from her loveseat, but she did a bus tour of Europe with Gail, a trip across Canada and down to Mexico with Menno and Zen. 

She had a passion for learning through books, TV documentaries, English courses, and the Bible. 

In her early thirties she took the Lord as Savior and became a member of Bethel Baptists Church.

Missions were her focus which she supported financially and with prayer. She was indeed a missionary in Sechelt, where many people were touched by her faith. 

Myrtle will be dearly missed and will be lovingly remembered by her family, friends and all who knew her.
