Myrna Jean (Hoadley) Mork, age 93, of Pierpont, South Dakota, passed away peacefully at her home on the farm on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.

A Life of Faith and Dedication Born on September 27, 1932, in Houghton, South Dakota, Myrna was the daughter of Reviloand Mabel Hoadley. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Church in Houghton, where she also attended elementary school before attending high school in Groton, South Dakota.

Myrna’s early career was defined by a spirit of service. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, she worked as a nurse’s aide at hospitals in both Britton, South Dakota, and Mauston, Wisconsin. She also spent time working at the Bluebird Café in Groton, a testament to her hardworking nature.

Family and the Farm On June 5, 1953, Myrna was united in marriage to Jerome Mork in Rapid City. Together, they shared 48 years of marriage and built a life centered on family and the farm. Myrna was a devoted mother to their three sons and a constant presence on the homesteaded family farm. Later in life, she also dedicated nineteen years of service to Dakotah in Webster.

Myrna had a profound love for the outdoors and all living things. She was often found tending to her vegetable and flower gardens or planting trees. Her compassion extended to her many farm animals, and she held a special place in her heart for her horses, cattle, chickens, cats, and dogs.

Survivors and Legacy She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jerome; her brother, Duane Hoadley; and her sister, Maxine Iverson.

Her legacy lives on through her three sons and their families:

• David Arthur Mork (Connie) of Yorkville, Illinois

• Jerry Alan Mork (Rita) of Pierpont, South Dakota

• Donald Raymond Mork (Ann) of Sanders, Montana

She is also survived by five grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and many dear friends who will deeply miss her presence. She thoroughly enjoyed spending time and socializing with her large network of friends.
