Myrtle Ruby Nold

Myrtle Ruby Nold, 91, of St. Louis Park, MN, passed away peacefully on October 29, 2024, at Jones Harrison Residence, surrounded by family. Myrt was born on December 11, 1932, in Wrenshall, MN, to Lawrence and Lela Holmes. She grew up in a close-knit family with seven sisters and a brother, forming bonds that would last a lifetime. Myrt and her twin sister Millie joined the Women's Army Corps where they became skilled communications workers. They won a communications contest but were not permitted to accept the award because the Army believed the award should go to a man! Myrt and Millie were well-known at their base for the duets they were fond of singing together. After being discharged from the Army, Myrt briefly attended the University of Minnesota-Duluth, studying home economics. For many years after her marriage she was a federal worker, first at the IRS, then the post office. Myrt married Dale Nold on July 25, 1959, and together they raised two sons, Robert and Don. Myrt created a warm and loving home for her family, filling it with handcrafted treasures and cherished memories. A talented needleworker, Myrt found joy in quilting, embroidery and counted cross-stitch, creating beautiful pieces that will be treasured by her family for generations to come. One of her most cherished traditions was the annual "Christmas in July" celebration with her sisters (and occasionally their brother), where they shared their creativity through handmade gifts - a strict rule that showcased their artistic talents and love for crafting. Myrt is survived by her son Don, his wife Karla, and daughter-in-law Kathy; grandchildren Nick, Kristin, Travis, Rebekah (Reuben) and Sarah (Mark); sisters Fran and Lela Kay; and many beloved nieces and nephews. She has joined her husband Dale; son Robert; twin sister Millie; sisters Peggy, Jeanne, Dorothy, Phyllis; and brother Darrell in eternal rest. Thanks to the Health Partners Hospice Care Team and the Jones Harrison staff, who cared for Myrt in her final days. Visitation at 1:00 PM on Monday, November 18, 2024, at Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapel, 5000 W. 50th St., Edina, MN, followed by service at 2:00 PM. A private burial is planned at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. Memorials can be made to the charity of your choice.
