Myrtle was born in Anderson on July 17, 1931 to Otto and Mary (Wehmeier) Schroeder. She was baptized August 30, 1931 by Rev. H.E. Spitzenpheil and was confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church on April 15, 1945 by Rev. L. Karcher.

On February 7, 1948, Myrtle married Edwin William Thane at Trinity Lutheran Church. Together they raised 2 daughters. Myrtle was a woman of faith and was immensely proud of her family. She was a devoted wife of 62 years, loving mother and adoring grandmother.
