Visitations will be from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday at Eidsness Funeral Chapel in Volga. Myrtle Jane (Thoms) Sterud was born May 29, 1916, at Kingsley, Iowa, to John and Myrtle (Bogardus) Thoms. At the age of 4 her family moved to a farm south of Bruce, South Dakota, in March 1920. They came up in a 1919 Model T Ford. She attended the Bruce School for two years, then at Renshaw 52. The family later moved to a farm north of White, South Dakota. She attended country school at Afton 11. She finished the eighth grade, and being one of the older children, stayed home to help her mother. Beginning in 1936 she worked for the C.A. Skinner family of Brookings for two years. She met Martin Sterud, and they were married on August 5, 1938. Martin and Myrtle welcomed Marlys (1944) and Merlin (1945) to their family. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in August 1988; Martin passed away in September 1988. They lived and farmed south of Volga for 27 years, remodeled the Oslo 98 schoolhouse into a home and lived there for eleven years. In 1976 they moved into Volga, where Myrtle resided until her death. Myrtle was a member of the Lake Campbell Lutheran Church and an active member of the Ladies Aid, along with helping sew quilts. She was a charter member of the Home Mixers Extension Club, Neighborhood Birthday Club, Knit and Stitch Sewing Club, and the Ravishing Rubies Red Hat Society. She seldom missed Pie Day with the ladies at the Valley Restaurant. She enjoyed embroidering quilt blocks, making lefse, brownies, and apple pie.
