GREENCORN - Myrtle Olive (Fleet), 92 of Port Hastings, NS, passed away on Wednesday, May 27, 2020, at Ivany Place, Hammonds Plains. Born in Glace Bay, NS, she was the eldest daughter of the late Holland (Holly) Fleet and the late Caroline (Carrie) (Troke) Fleet of Louisburg, NS. Myrtle grew up and attended school in Louisburg, then attended Empire Business College in Sydney. After completing her studies, she moved to Hamilton, Ontario, where she was Executive Secretary at Firth Brothers, and later at Firestone Tire & Rubber Company. In 1951 she married Alex Greencorn, Glace Bay. They lived in Hamilton until 1960 when she and her family moved to Canso and then to Port Hawkesbury in 1961 before finally settling in Port Hastings in 1965. Myrtle was active in her community as a Brownie Leader in Port Hawkesbury and instructing night classes under the Continuing Education Program throughout Inverness County. She taught Sunday School at St. Joseph’s Church and was a member of the Port Hawkesbury Evergreen Club helping with Meals on Wheels. Myrtle had a great love for learning and staying current with technology and the world around her. Her home in Port Hastings was filled with well-read books. She was an early adopter of a home computer and connecting to the internet and that interest continued through her life. Just days before her passing she was on a "Zoom" call with many of her grandchildren, watched a granddaughter’s university graduation on her computer, and "Face Timed" with other family members. Myrtle loved to talk and would spend hours in conversation (in person or on the phone) with anyone, especially family and close friends. Myrtle was incredibly proud of her family and her collection of scrapbooks and photo albums attest to the pride she felt. Myrtle was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 65 and, while it slowed her body, it did not slow her mind. She showed incredible amounts of courage and resilience as she fought this disease. Myrtle is survived by her daughter Gwen (John) Stewart of Cole Harbour NS, sons Glen (Brenda) of Middle Sackville NS, and Ian (Patty) of Port Hawkesbury NS; and daughter-in-law Diane Glazer, Fredericton, NB; eleven grandchildren, one great-grandson; three step-grandchildren and seven step-great-grandchildren; sisters Marlene Richards, Dublin Shore NS and Linda (Clifford) Coveyduc, Dartmouth NS and sister-in-law Mary Annette Greencorn, Port Hawkesbury NS as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Myrtle was predeceased by her husband of 65 years Alex, son Scott of Fredericton, NB, sisters Beulah Prevost, Halifax NS, Joyce Gallop, North Sydney NS, June Byrne, Hamilton, ON, brother Lester Fleet, Sydney River NS, and brothers-in-law de St Denys "Puss" Richelieu, PQ; Dr Ernest Byrne, Hamilton ON; Jim Richards, Dublin Shore NS; sisters-in-law Mary (Jack) Brown, Toronto ON; Florence (Jim) Cain, Hamilton, ON; and brothers-in-law John Greencorn, Port Hawkesbury NS; and Ted Greencorn, Port Hawkesbury NS. Myrtle’s family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the staff at Ivany Place and Parkland at the Lakes for the terrific care she received over the last several years, especially the last few months. There will be a celebration of Myrtle’s life sometime in the future when we can gather and share memories of this incredible person who touched so many lives. Anyone wishing to do so may make a donation to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury.
