Myrna Ann Suski

Peacefully, surrounded by her family, Myrna Ann Suski (Ackerman) passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 23, 2025.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 53 years, Richard, sons Scott (Carly), Brett (Laetitia) and grandchildren; Annika, Jillian, Matilynn, Nikosis, Charlotte and Quinn as well as numerous extended family and a large circle of friends.

She was predeceased by her parents Alvin and Agnus Ackerman, stepfather Gerald Moore, brother Earl Ackerman and sister Lynn Nichol.

Myrna was born in Riding Mountain, MB on January 8, 1952, the youngest of 3 children.

Myrna spent her childhood in Riding Mountain. Her passion for learning started at a young age. She attended Riding Mountain school until grade 9 and later graduated from Kelwood High School.

After high school Myrna moved to Winnipeg to attend St. Boniface Nursing school where she graduated as a Licensed Practical Nurse in 1971.

While attending nursing school, Myrna maintained a long distance relationship with a boy from Riding Mountain, who became the love of her life, her forever two stepping partner and husband of 53 wonderful years.

Richard and Myrna started dating in 1970 and married on October 7, 1972. After their wedding she moved to St. Rose where Myrna began her nursing career.

In 1977 they moved to Pinawa, MB where they have lived for the last 48 years.

Not long after they moved to Pinawa, Richard and Myrna started their family welcoming Scott in 1979 and Brett in 1981.

Being a mom was one of Myrna’s greatest accomplishments. Her love for her children and later her grandchildren was immeasurable. There were very few events she didn’t attend. Countless camping and road trips, family reunions and family holidays are memories we will always cherish.

Being a life long learner, she went back to school in the mid 80’s to become an RN and spent many years in Public Health. Healthcare was her passion. She was a trailblazer and left her mark in the region (even if it meant ruffling some feathers!) She was a part of many wonderful teams over the years making lifelong friends along the way. She retired in 2012 but maintained her nursing license and skills and continued to work casually in remote northern communities providing immunizations where she made many special friendships.

Life truly began for Myrna in 2007 when she became a Grannie for the first time. She was blessed with 6 beautiful grandchildren who were her whole world. She instilled a strength and determination in all her grandchildren, who were all so lucky to have her to look up to. Her fiery spirit will undoubtedly continue to shine through them.

Myrna was determined to live life to the fullest and on her terms. She was a social butterfly; from curling and quilting, to golf, bingo and cards. Myrna could be seen around Pinawa always ready to lend a helping hand, always with a smile on her face and a positive attitude. She cherished the many winters her and Richard spent with their friends in Texas where they continued to live their best life.

Myrna’s love for her family was unmatched. She loved the holidays, especially Christmas and treasured all of our family get togethers, gathered around the table together, eating, laughing and playing games. She was the matriarch of our family, and we will be forever grateful for all our extra time and memories we were able to have with her.

Myrna was a shining light in lives of all those who had the privilege of knowing her. Her passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by her. We ask that you remember her not for the way her life ended, but for the way it was lived, and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing her.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Pinawa Fire Department, Pinawa EMS and Stars as well as the many healthcare professionals who provided unwavering care to her when needed the most. Also, a sincere thank you to everyone who sent messages of love and support. We are truly grateful.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 30th at 11:00 a.m. at the Pinawa Community Centre, 20 Vanier Ave., Pinawa, MB. Interment will be at a later date. We invite all guests to stay following the service.

If you wish to make a donation in Myrna’s memory, please consider your local Hospital or Healthcare facility.

We love you to the moon and back xoxo
