Myrna Lou Huppert, 88, died on Friday, July 6, 2018 after a brief and valiant battle with cancer surrounded by her family and the loving staff at Valentine's.
Born May 18, 1930 in Red Wing to Eugene and Harriet Allyn, she graduated from Red Wing High School in 1948. Myrna worked for her parents who owned Allyn's Bakery for a number of years before she married.

In 1983, following her husband's passion for woodworking, they opened Rose Creek where they worked together making homemade gifts and selling other merchandise.
Myrna was a lifetime member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Red Wing. She enjoyed family vacations in Wisconsin, trips to the cabin in Wacouta, lunch and coffee with friends, taking pictures with her disposable camera, growing nasturtiums, and making potato salad and deviled eggs. Above all else, Myrna enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and nieces & nephews.
Survivors include two sons, Greg (Linda) Huppert, Jeff (Lynn) Huppert, both of Red Wing; two daughters, Gina (Mark) Rathbun of Elk River, Calli (Grant) Ekblad of Red Wing; seven grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren, and one sister, Carmen Harris of Red Wing.
