They were married for 53 years before his passing in 2012. Together they worked for many years at Farm America in Waseca, and enjoyed traveling to Branson and Las Vegas. Myrna was a farm wife while raising her children; she spent many hours on the farm gathering and cleaning eggs. She worked in Wells at Big Bobs and Merffey’s, working in the kitchen making salads. She worked at USC in Food Service as the “Sweet Lady”. She loved working at school with all of the kids! She was a lifelong member of St. Paul’s UCC and the Women’s Guild as well as the Sunshine Guild. After her sons passing, she attended a Grief Support Group, and it was here she received the support of the group, and the friends she made there were a great comfort. Myrna loved decorating her house for the seasons and holidays. She loved to bake, especially her Rice Krispy bars. She enjoyed her time shopping and attending craft shows with her friend Andrea. Myrna always liked dancing. After Don’s death she enjoyed going to dances with her friend Jim Rathai.
