​Myra Mabel, the daughter of to Harold and Mabel Paul Zieman was born January 18, 1941 in Meservey. Myra was raised on the family farm near Meservey. She attended school and graduated from Meservey High School in 1959. After high school, Myra worked at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake. She met and received autographs from many famous musicians. Myra was united in marriage to Dale Frohling on February 5, 1960 at the Immanuel Reformed Church in Belmond. They were blessed with three children, Jody, Kent and Ryan. They made their home on the Zieman family farm near Meservey where they milked cows, raised pigs and chickens. They later moved to a farm northwest of Thornton and continued to raise these animals, but added ducks and geese. The children were also very active in the farm operation. Myra contributed much to the farm driving tractor and helping with livestock.

Myra was a authentic farm-wife and mother. She enjoyed gardening, and always had a pantry full of canned and preserved goods. She also was very handy with craft and clothing. Myra made many gifts for family and friends. Myra had a great passion for sewing, making many clothes for her children, grandchildren and even her children’s dolls. Myra also attended numerous activities of her grandchildren and tried to support them best in whatever they did. She loved attending the fair to see her kids various projects. She often made her own patterns. Myra hand-stitched design quilts for all her children, grandchildren and many others. The quilts were completely her design from the pattern up. She also liked to play cards, and was 4-H Leader. Myra enjoyed children and baby sat her great niece Kelly until she entered school. When Dale retired from farming, Myra decided to go to work for Par-Products in Klemme for a few years. Myra eventually attained her Certified Nurses Accreditation and worked for numerous care centers in the area.
