    It is with broken hearts that the family of Myra Marie (nee Fortowsky) Hinz of Humboldt, SK, announces her passing at St. Paul’s Hospital, Saskatoon, SK.  She was 65 years of age.  Myra was born in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Humboldt, on January 28, 1950, to Peter and Marie (nee Kosokowsky) Fortowsky.  She attended St. Augustine School for grades one to six, and St. Dominic’s School for grades seven and eight.  On September 19, 1970, Myra married Allan Hinz in Muenster.  They were blessed with three children, a daughter and two sons.  Myra and Allan lived in a suite on 9th Street in Humboldt until they bought their first home at 618 3rd Street, Humboldt, where they still resided.  Over the years, Myra was employed at Daniel’s Drycleaners, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in the laundry department, Nelson’s Esso Restaurant, Leo Parker Arena concession booth, and at the Danish Oven Bakery for 10 years.  As well, Myra was a devoted homemaker to her family.  She was a dedicated member of St. Augustine Parish and the C.W.L.  Her favorite pastimes were gardening – both vegetables and flowers, collecting ornaments, doing crossword and jigsaw puzzles, reading, and baking, and she had a passion for shopping.  Myra will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her husband of 45 years, Allan Hinz; their three children and five grandchildren:  Tracy (Nolan) Peters and family, Kiersten (Branden), Jorden (Cody), and Kiana (Brayden); Jeff Hinz (Wendy); and Travis Hinz (Sheena) and family, Kayl and Eli; her aunt, Theresa Kosokowsky; and by numerous nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her parents, Peter and Marie (nee Kosokowsky) Fortowsky; and by two brothers:  Sydney Fortowsky and Kenneth Fortowsky.  The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Augustine R.C.
