Myrtle and her three brothers were raised by various families. In 1926 Myrtle was united in marriage to Melvin Olson, and together they raised six children. Melvin passed away October 31, 1970. Myrtle was a hard worker all of her life. She was employed at Nick's Hamburger Shop for many years. Her children remember sneaking in the back door of Nick's to ask for ice cream money. Myrtle later worked for SDSU as a dorm cleaning lady until she retired. She became a resident of the United Retirement Center March 22, 2005.
