SIMMONS, (GORMLEY) Myrna Marie – Port Hawkesbury. It is with heavy hearts, we the family wish to announce the passing of our wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, on Sunday, March 24, 2013, in the Strait Richmond Hospital, Evanston. Myrna, the eldest daughter of the late Roy and Ila (Horton) Gormley, was born in Montague, P.E.I. on September 4, 1948. She will be dearly missed by husband, Leonard; children, Christopher (Cheryl MacDonald), Kelli (Gerard MacNeil), Chad (Bobbi) and her grandchildren, Thomas, Michael, Megan, Marcy, Evan, Lucas and Neely. Myrna’s life was centered on her family. They were the inspiration and hope that made each day possible.
