Myla Genevieve Mehain (nee Easton) was born July 29, 1936 in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan, daughter of George and Annetta Easton. She is predeceased by her brothers, Terry, and Brian Easton. Myla passed away peacefully in Abbotsford Regional Hospital on November 2, 2012 ending her struggle with cancer.

Myla was a woman of many talents starting out as a telephone operator where she met the love of her life, George. They soon married and started their family, and picked up roots and moved to Nanaimo where they operated a motel before settling in Langley, BC. Myla loved to bake and often entertained. She volunteered at numerous facilities within the church and outside such as the Blind Club. She was always ready to tell a story and make somebody smile with her infectious laugh. She loved to travel and they made many friends along their ways across the US and Canada in their trailer. Many a good time was spent with family in Birch Bay, Washington where the family loved to congregate and have a hot dog or 2, and share a laugh and everyone was always made to feel welcome whether it was at their cabin/trailer or their house. Myla will be sadly missed by all who knew her. She will be missed mostly for her love of life and love of people she knew. She was welcoming and understood the spirit of living a true and happy life. She will always be missed and cherished in our hearts as loving wife, loving mother, and loving Nana.

ROTHNEY George Linklater George Linklater Rothney passed away on October 29, 2012 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital. He was born in Winnipeg Manitoba on November 29, 1920, the third of four children of Dr. William Oliver Rothney and his wife Agnes Brodie Linklater Rothney. George spent his early years in Sherbrooke, Quebec and followed his father into a career in Education after his graduation from Bishop’s University. In 1945 he married Audrey Elaine Robertson in Yarmouth Nova Scotia and together they lived in a number of communities in Quebec before moving to Abbotsford in 1978. He earned a Master’s Degree in Education from Columbia University and spent 35 years as an educator in roles ranging from chemistry teacher, to principal, to district supervisor, to provincial inspector of schools to director general of the Lennoxville District School Board in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. He was honoured by the Quebec Department of Education and his professional colleagues with the Order of Scholastic Merit. George had a great passion for music and over the years he sang as a soloist, in men’s quartets and choirs, and for more than 65 years in church choirs. He thoroughly enjoyed Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and played leading roles in many productions. After his retirement, he and his wife did more traveling. Highlights included a cruise through the Panama Canal and a trip to Maui and they shared many fond memories of their 23 years as snowbirds in Florida and Tucson, Arizona. George was predeceased by his parents, his brothers Gordon and William and his sister Isabel Duffett. George is survived by Audrey, his beloved wife of 67 years, son Tom (Denise) of Chemainus, daughters Linda (the late David Appleton, Andrew Kenyon) of Oakville, Ontario and Susan of Abbotsford, grandchildren Jamie Rothney (Krista Slavinski) of Toronto, Adrienne Haponiuk (Michael) of Edmonton and Jordan Appleton of Oakville, and his three great-grandchildren, Owen Rothney and Zachary and Joshua Haponiuk. George’s faith remained strong throughout his recent illness but he requested that no public memorial be held for him. His loving family will miss him terribly but are comforted by the fact that he is at peace. He was a kind, gentle man who was a wonderful husband and father.
