Myrtle “Myrt” M. Czeshinski, 100, Medford, died on Monday, May 25 at Country Gardens Assisted Living, Medford where she had resided for the past three months, most recently under the care of Hope Hospice.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, May 29 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Medford with Rev. Brian Mundt officiating. Burial will take place at Medford Evergreen Cemetery.

Myrtle was born on June 29, 1914 in the town of Medford to the late Eugene and Ida (Stolp) Long. She attended Babcock elementary schools and was a graduate of Spencer High School. She attended Taylor County Normal School in Medford. She was married on June 28, 1933 in Waukegan, Ill. to Andrew Czeshinski and he preceded her in death on Oct. 26, 1998.

After her marriage, she clerked at Kostner’s Grocery Store in Medford. She worked in the office at The Star News in Medford for many years until retirement. She enjoyed family gatherings, fishing, playing cards, reading, gardening and an occasional trip to a casino – once winning a motorcycle (which she didn’t keep). She was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Medford and past member of its Ladies Aid.

She is survived by: three sons, Gerald (Marlene) Czeshinski of Wausau, John (Kathleen) Czeshinski of New Berlin and Alan Czeshinski of Phillips; five grandchildren, Mark, Michael, Marla, Brian and Bradley; and 13 great-grandchildren.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded death by a son, James Leo Czeshinski, and a sister Evelyn Goerg.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to either Hope Hospice of Medford, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church or to the family for a future designation.

Our special thanks to all at Country Gardens and Hope Hospice … she enjoyed the support and love she had shown to her.
