Born in Sydney, Myrna was the daughter of the late Joseph and Mary (Dalton) Campbell.

Myrna was a vivacious, loving woman, who had a passion for life, her family, her church, and some good music. She was always known for a hot meal, Cape Breton cup of tea and good conversation to anyone who wanted to have a chat. Myrna touched the lives of all that had the pleasure of knowing her.

Myrna was predeceased by her husband, Vernon Krszwda; son-in-law, Mark MacDonald; brothers, Mick, Frank, Joseph and sisters, Dorothy, Cora, Kathleen, Helen, Colleen, and Mamie.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff of 4B and ICU of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.

As well as long-time friends, Louise Warren, Mary Jane MacMullan, and Douglas Lloy.
