JALBERT: It is with heavy hearts that the family of Myrna Jalbert announce her peaceful passing on Tuesday, December 2, 2025 at the age of 77. Myrna is survived by: her loving husband Eli Jalbert; her children, Grant Dopko (Laurie), Scott Dopko (Shannon), Dorothy Schmeltzer (Mark); stepchildren, Sheldon Jalbert (Tannis) and Darwin Jalbert; her grandchildren, Alex and Ryan, Alyssa (Devin), Lexi, Jase, Gabby, Chelsea, Cassidy, Matthew, Taylor and Brooke and Kaylin; great grandchildren, Beau, Emmy-Grace and Oaklee; her siblings, Murray Randall (Sharon), Shirley Olson (Vince), Brian Randall (Annette), Jeannie Marchewka (Robert) and their families; long time friends and travel companions, Ray and Rita Penny (sister-in-law). Myrna was predeceased by: her parents, Hank and Lillian Randall; and parents-in-law, Leon and Suzanne Jalbert. Myrna had a long career as an X-Ray Technologist, working in Saskatoon and eventually at Lloydminster hospital, finishing her career at RCA diagnostics. She enjoyed curling in her earlier years but followed up as a fan, watching every curling match that TSN carried. Myrna and Eli loved to go camping and enjoyed sitting out by the fire when they weren’t in the boat hauling the kids around on tubes and skis. They also enjoyed watching their grandkids many dance recitals, hockey games and Christmas concerts over the years (she loved watching her grandkids activities). Even though the last few years were challenging and her memory was failing her, Myrna always had a smile on her face and made friends with ease. Christmas was her favorite time of year. we will all miss the always full candy dish and remember all the Christmas baking she loved to make for us all. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Though she may no longer be with us in person, Myrna’s spirit, lessons and love will continue to live on in all who knew her. The family would like to thank the third-floor nurses and staff for their care and compassion during her stay at Lloydminster Hospital. A Celebration of Life to honour our mom will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lloydminster Regional Health Foundation. McCaw Funeral Service Ltd., of Lloydminster, Alberta administered the funeral arrangements.
