Myrt moved back to Mankato in 2018 to be close to family support and spent her last 2 and a half years of life at Ecumen Pathstone. She was actively involved in the Red Hat Society and her church community.

Myrt will be remembered through her love for her kitties, her dedication and love to her family, staying in close touch with friends from high school, bowling, baking, and being a long time member of Living Word Lutheran Church in Eagan. She was a silly and fun filled lady who never failed to find joy in the small moments. Myrt also enjoyed traveling with her dear friends and enjoyed trips to Sweden to visit her family.
