A native of International Falls, Minnesota, went home to the Lord May 5, 2011 at the age of 72 in Oceanside, California with her daughter, Karen, and granddaughter, Melanie, by her side. Myrna was a respected Real Estate Broker in the Northern Virginia region and enjoyed travel, the beauty of nature and the company of family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Thomas Aquinas School, 810 Fifth Street, International Falls, MN 56649 Mom brought me into the world. I was blessed to be able to be with her as she returned home to the Lord. Until I see you again.

The Nystrom name brings to mind fond memories of Lakevale. So sorry to hear of your loss - thoughts and prayers are with you from the Morin family.

To know someone almost your whole life, is a wonderful gift. Myrna was there when I was a little girl, growing up in Lakevale. We spent family vacations and holidays together, she was there at my wedding, when we bought our first house, and she got to spoil my girls. Wishing the Nystrom family peace and love at this difficult time. She will never be forgotten!
