Myrtle M. Larsen, age 103, received the promise of eternal life on Tuesday, September 17, 2024.

Myrtle was the daughter of the late Adelore and Blanche (nee: La Piere) Carrier. She was united in marriage to the love of her life, Donald Larsen, on June 18, 1955, at Holy Name Catholic Church.

Myrtle was a graduate of Park High School.  She faithfully and honorably served her country in the Navy as a Pharmacist Mate stationed at a San Diego Naval Hospital during World War II. Myrtle was a homemaker raising 3 children.  She enjoyed reading and trying new restaurants with her family.  Myrtle had an adventurous spirit. She took a hot air balloon ride and went ziplining in her 90's and received her first tattoo at 99.

Myrtle leaves to cherish her memory; children, Diane (Tom Wiggins) Larsen of Loudon Tennessee, Karen Larsen of Racine, Keith (Katie) Larsen of Kenosha; grandchildren, Mike Larsen of Saint Paul Minnesota, Sara Larsen of Kenosha; other relatives and dear friends too numerous to mention. In addition to her parents, Myrtle is preceded in death by her sister, Lorraine and two brothers, Leonard and Harold Carrier.

The family would like to extend a "Thank You" to the staff at Ascension Living Lakeshore at Siena for the care given to Myrtle during her time of illness.
