She was born in Minnesota and her parents were born in Norway. According to Michael: She was called "Teddy" when she was a young woman. She attended normal school in Minot, North Dakota, and moved to Oregon to teach. Myrtle never remarried and died of cancer in Portland in 1967. She was very strong-willed and an extremely capable and dedicated teacher. The primary school where she last taught held a small memorial service for her and planted a tree in her honor. {Myrtle} taught first grade for many years in the Parkrose School District.
