Mya Schiele
May 14, 2002 – July 24, 2022
Mya Lynn Schiele, 20,
Minot, passed away on
Sunday, July 24, 2022, at
the family farm in
Norwich, ND.
Mya was born on May
14, 2002, in Minot, the
daughter of Jessie Schiele
and Shani Reisnour. Mya
was baptized into God’s
kingdom on July 7th,
2002, at Bread of Life
Lutheran Church (God-
parents Kristy
Baumgartner and Dwight
Stroh.) She attended
school in Minot and Car-
rington. While at Carring-
ton high school Mya spent
time in FFA and also be-
came a mentor in the
Sources of Strength pro-
gram. Mya wasn’t one to
sit idle, working through
high school in Carrington
at the Hi-Way Drive-In.
Mya loved working
with kids, and, in addi-
tion to assisting local fam-
ilies as a nanny, she chan-
neled that natural ability
as a caretaker for little
ones at the Kiddie Korral
2.0 Child Care Center &
Early Learning Program in
Minot. Mya shined bright
throughout her life, bring-
ing a loving energy wher-
ever she went. Foremost
among her many unique
qualities was the deep,
loving connection Mya
had with her younger
cousins. Her presence,
smile, and contagious
laughter was a beacon to
each and every one of
them.
She often exhibited a
patience beyond her years
with those younger
cousins, that ability
shined just this year when
she spent time teaching
one of those many
cousins to drive. Mya
treasured her special rela-
tionship with Casen, the
kindness and composure
she maintained while
hanging out with Casen is
something we should all
aspire to. In spite of the
occasional brother/sister
tiffs, Mya was fiercely car-
ing for and protective of
her brother and partner in
trouble, Parker.
Mya grew up riding
horses on the family farm
in Norwich, it was truly
one of her favorite pas-
times. Mya’s favorite
horse was none other than
Turbo, ironically named
for being mildly fast at
best. As a member of the
Minot Trail Riders Rodeo
club Mya competed most-
ly in barrel racing and ar-
guments with Maci about
what horse to ride. Her
pursuit of all things rodeo
related didn’t stop there,
Mya also belonged to the
McHenry County Saddle
Club.
Some of her fondest
memories were of fishing
trips with Dad and long
rides getting lost on the
four-wheeler or stuck in
the mud out on the farm.
She was a farm girl who
always had her nails
painted (often times
bright pink). Mya loved
Marilyn Monroe and blos-
somed into a social but-
terfly, just like her mom.
Someone else Mya looked
up to and admired was
her shopping and spa
partner Brandi Mittleider.
Mya is deeply missed by
everyone who was blessed
to share in her life.
