Myrna was raised in Aberdeen on the family farm with her 5 siblings, Mike, Penni, Candy, Jeff and Todd. She attended school in Grandview and Aberdeen. She fell in love and married the farm boy down the road. Myrna and John were married for time and all eternity on July 12th, 1956 in the Idaho Falls, ID Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

They started their life together on the farm in Aberdeen in a 2-room house with a path out back. They worked the farm with her in-laws, Roland and Ella Duffin, until they retired in 1971 when John and Myrna purchased the farming operation. Myrna took a very active role in the farming operation feeding the haying and harvest crews, as well as helping with the sheep operation and bookkeeping.

Myrna and John raised 6 children on the farm; 3 daughters and 3 sons. They taught all of them how to work and love the land and livestock. She was a fantastic cook and loved to share her knowledge and talent with her children and many others. There was always a seat at her table and no one ever left her home hungry.
