Rosemarie Myrdal, the second woman to serve as North Dakota's lieutenant governor, has died. She was 94.

Myrdal died Wednesday night in Grafton due to old age, said state Sen. Janne Myrdal, her daughter-in-law. Funeral and burial services are planned for Monday at Pioneer Church in Gardar.

"She had her garden, and she ate healthy, and she ground her own wheat from the farm, and she lived the North Dakota way," Janne Myrdal, a Republican, told The Associated Press. "I think this is going to reverberate throughout the state because she was one of a kind, for sure, of a public servant."
