Myrna Frances (nee Hutmacher) Krentz

February 15, 1939 – June 11, 2019

It is with sadness in their hearts that the family of Myrna Krentz announce her passing on Tuesday, June 11, 2019, at 80 years of age.  Myrna was born to Tony and Frances (nee Hoffman) Hutmacher February 15, 1939 in Bruno, Saskatchewan.  She was their eldest daughter and throughout her life she considered them to be her greatest inspiration.  She attended public school in Bruno and completed grade 9 at St. Ursula’s Academy before moving with her parents to Winnipeg, where she completed high school and took a secretarial course.  On May 31, 1958 she married Allen Krentz in Vancouver and the couple lived and worked there and began their family and this is where Denise was born. By 1961, Saskatchewan became home again for them, in the small town of Simmie, near Swift Current.  Later Randy and Brian were born and the family moved back to Bruno after purchasing the home quarter, in 1966.  For many years the family continued to farm and in 1976, Bruno Concrete Ltd., started operations and Myrna took an active role in the business, also acting as the bookkeeper.  Alongside farming and enjoying her family, Myrna was involved in many organizations, offering her time and skills to the St. Bruno Parish Council and local C.W.L. chapter and serving with the Saskatchewan Housing Nominating Committee.  Her love of friends and new experiences led her to take many opportunities to travel to places such as Hawaii, Colorado and Mexico and she had fond memories of the family trip to Disneyland in 1979 and trips with friends, including all of those with the Bruno Concrete Fast Ball Team.  Her heart was always one of mercy for those she loved and she always moved more quickly to tears than to anger, devoting herself to her children and to their families. In 1995, Myrna and Allen retired to live in Bruno and Myrna spent the winters relaxing with knitting and crafts and watching sports while the coffee pot was always on in case friends stopped in for a visit. Myrna will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her three children and their families:  Denise (Russ) Glazier and family, Jessica (Kyle) of Edmonton, AB; Randy (Sandra) Krentz and their children Brooke and Allen of Edmonton, AB; and Brian (Tammie) Krentz and their family, April (Brayden) and son Landon Carter, Robyn (Jamie) and their son Ethan, and Ryan. She is survived by her brothers:  Wayne (Audrey) Hutmacher, Cleo Hutmacher, Carman (Judith) Hutmacher, Myron (Maureen) Hutmacher, and by her brother-in-law Bob (Laura) Hampton.  Myrna was predeceased by her husband, Allen Krentz, her parents, Tony and Frances (nee Hoffman) Hutmacher, her sister Maureen Hampton; her brothers-in-law: Harold Krentz and Russell Ebner; her sisters-in-law Rita Carson, Anna Hutmacher and Maureen Hutmacher and by her godson, Dean Krentz.  Memorial Donations can be directed to the St. Bruno Cemetery Fund, Bethany Pioneer Village or the Canadian Cancer Society.  A Funeral Mass for Myrna will be held on Saturday, June 29, 2019 at 10:00 a.m., at St. Bruno Parish Church in Bruno, SK.  Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK, (306-682-4114) www.schulerlefebvrefuneralchapel.com
