Myrna spent many years as a homemaker while raising her family and helping Darrel on the farm, with the cows and with the Case tractor dealership. She always had a huge garden that supplied food for the following year. Myrna canned hundreds of quarts of tomatoes and green beans. She also made the best dill pickles, jellies and jams and anything else she could get her hands on. In addition to her garden, Myrna also enjoyed sewing, embroidery, quilting, crocheting, and knitting.
