On June 28, 1941, she married Luther Grebe who preceded her in death after sharing more than fifty-four years of marriage. Helen attended the Outagamie County Teachers College and taught in area schools for seven years. As a young woman, she will also be remembered for serving as the church organist in her home church in Gillett. Many will also recall her work as a waitress at the Hyland House in Kaukauna for many years. Helen enjoyed bowling, making candy for the holidays and other special occasions, but was especially dedicated to being a wife and mother. Helen is survived by three daughters: Gail (Jim) Wilson of Kaukauna; Gwyne (Ed) Miller of Texas; and Kay (Mike) Amerson of Appleton; two sons: Grant (Jean) Grebe of Kaukauna; and Karl "Willie" (Sarah) Grebe of California; nine grandchildren: Becky Helen (Tom) Benner, Cherie (Darin) Duphorne, Michael (Tiffini) Miller, Eric Luther Amerson, Tara (Randy) Theimer, Krista (Brian) Vosters, Rachel (Rev.

Helen is also survived by a sister-in-law, Virginia Grebe of Kaukauna; a brother-in-law, Edgar (Ruth) Grebe of Appleton; as well as other nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers: Raymond (Linda) Zahn and Harvey (Alice) Zahn; and by Luther's brothers and sisters: Don (Del) Grebe, Elmer (Charlotte) Grebe, Ada (Fritz) Olm, Gert (Norbert) Gerend, Eva (Ted) Boettcher, and Ena (Howard) Zuelke.
