Myron Simon Bergstrom, 99, passed away, very peacefully in his sleep, on Nov. 2, 2023, at Lawson Manor in Luck, Wisconsin. He was born on March 20, 1924, to Paul and Anna (Romlin) Bergstrom in Trade River, Wisconsin. He attended school at Trade River. He hauled canned milk for Arnie Erickson for the Cushing Creamery. He bought a farm in rural Cushing on Oct. 1, 1946, where he lived for 76 years.
He married Verle Brenizer on Oct. 4, 1947, and together they had two children, Judy and Dale. They operated a dairy farm and raised mink. They traveled to all 50 states and to Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Estonia, Latvia, England, France, Mexico and Canada. They celebrated their 76th wedding anniversary this October.
Myron truly enjoyed living on the farm. Between his tractor, lawn mower and golf cart, he could travel anywhere he needed to go on the farm. If and when you came to the farm and saw his golf cart you knew he was not too far away, fixing or mending something important. Other interests Myron enjoyed during his life were cutting wood, woodworking and sharing past and present stories with family and friends. Myron had a very caring and gentle way about him that many found comforting while visiting. Family was very important to Myron, and he treasured the time he spent with them.
Myron is survived by his wife, Verle Bergstrom; daughter, Judy (Brian) Hanson; son, Dale (Merilee) Bergstrom; grandchildren, Kim (Jack) Lundgren, Terry (Becky) Bergstrom, Troy (Eileen) Bergstrom, Craig (Jamie) Carlson and Trent (Gary) Bergstrom; granddaughter-in-law, Amber Carlson; great-grandchildren, Andrew, Meghann, Jack, Brooke and Erik Bergstrom, Zachary, Trevor and Nick Bergstrom, Ascher and Mischa Carlson, and Hunter and Boe Carlson; three great-great grandchildren, Logan, Berkleigh and Aiden; and by many nieces, nephews and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Milton Bergstrom; sisters, Margaret Carlson, Magel Cummings and Merlett Wicklund; and grandson, Jeff Carlson.
A special thank-you to Lawson Manor and Hospice for the excellent care.
