    LILLIAN MARY MYERS was born June 22, 1912 on the family farm southeast of Wawota, the third child of George and Ethel Jacklin. She attended school in Wawota. As was often the case back then, she left school to work before marrying Ralph Myers on May 15, 1936. They were blessed with three children – Barrie, Bernice, and Kenneth. They farmed until moving into town in 1976. Lillian lived independently in her home until a week before her 100th birthday.
       Lillian passed away with gentle grace on June 4, 2015 at Wawota Deer View Lodge with family by her side. She left us only 18 days shy of her 103 birthday, and shall be dearly missed. She will be forever remembered for her beautiful flower gardens, home-cooked meals, and her unstoppable energy. She delighted in visits with family and friends, and was a very gracious hostess for special gatherings in her home. She was a lifetime member of the Mountney Ladies Club of Wawota. She was a hard worker, taking pride in her home and flowers. Her family meant the world to her.
       Lillian is predeceased by her beloved husband Ralph, her siblings Irene (James) McKay, John (Lorena) Jacklin, and Jean (Rollie) Metcalfe; her sister-in-law Mabel (Frank) Bird, and brothers-in-law Stanley (Thelma) Myers and Earl (Jean) Myers, as well as by other treasured extended family members near and abroad.
       She is survived by her son Barrie (Marlene) Myers, daughter Bernice (Jim) Duke, son Kenneth (Monique) Myers; grandchildren Kevin (Shelly) Myers, Kim (Chuck) Getz, Darryl Duke, Debra (Dale) McDonald, Curtis (Shelley) Duke, Tyler Duke, Steven (fiancé Melissa Woods) Myers, Lisa Myers; great-grandchildren Brendan (Sasha) Myers, Kerry (Brendan) Sulz, Dustin Myers, Kaylee Myers, Taya Myers; great-great-grandchildren Bella and Scarlet Rose Myers; plus numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and dear friends.
    Donations can be made in her memory towards the Wawota United Church or Wawota Deer View Lodge.
