She was born on Sept. 9, 1959, in Medford, to the late Frank and Mildred (Scott) Kestler. Starla was a lifelong resident of the Westboro area where she attended school in Westboro and Rib Lake. She was a 1977 graduate of Rib Lake High School.

Upon graduation, Starla worked at the nursing home in Rib Lake and on April 19, 1986, she was married to Robert Meyer at “The Little Brown Church” in Nashua, Iowa. They then moved back to Westboro. Starla worked in health care, taking care of the elderly and Alzheimer’s patients. She also had an in-home day care for several years. Starla worked at Weather Shield Manufacturing in Medford for many years and later at Parrett Windows & Doors in Dorchester; retiring in 2022.

She was a member of the Westboro Sno-Dusters and the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC). Starla enjoyed baking, cooking, snowmobiling, camping, gardening, and hiking.
