HELEN W. REIMERS
Helen Wilhelmina Anna Reimers, the daughter of John Peter and Mary Kathryn (Rhode) Lutjens, was born October 16, 1916 in Hull, Iowa. She grew up on a farm near Hull, Iowa where she received her education in a country school. She was united in marriage to Robert J. Reimers on July 5, 1939; they made their home on a farm west of Boyden. After his parents passed away they moved to his folk’s home place in 1972. They retired from farming in 1996 and remained on the home place. Robert preceded her in death on August 21, 2008 in Sioux Center, Iowa. Helen passed away on Friday, December 26, 2008 at her home in Boyden, reaching the age of 92 years, 2 months and 10 days.
Family was very important to Helen. She enjoyed gardening, growing flowers, helping on the farm and she loved her animals.
