Myrlain worked as a cook in Stewart Hall for the students and staff at St. Cloud State University since 1975. She also worked at the Flat Iron Bar as a bartender. Myrlain later returned to SCSU preparing meals in the Garvey Commons before retiring in 1997. She was a member of Holy Cross Lutheran Church. In her retirement Myrlain enjoyed cooking, her kitchen was her domain. When she wasn’t cooking she enjoyed fishing. Myrlain was a loving mother and grandmother who will be dearly missed.

Myrlain is survived by her children, Kenneth (Ali) Jr. of Jacksonville, FL, Kim (Gary) Philippi of Sartell; and three grandchildren, Kyle Eldred, Brandon and Ashley Philippi. She is preceded in death by her parents; beloved husband, Kenneth on Sept. 21, 1995; sister, Luvern Ernst in 1983.

A special thank you to everyone on staff at the St. Cloud Hospital Hospice and Good Shepherd Lutheran Home in Sauk Rapids for the care of Myrlain.
