COLBY -- Helen L. Schuh, 94, of Colby died Friday, June 25, 2010, at Colonial Nursing Home in Colby. Private burial services will be held at a later date.

Helen L. Steffen was born Sept. 18, 1915, in the town of Beaver to Lena (nee Hahn) and Emil Steffen. She graduated from Spencer High School.

In 1964, she married Henry Schuh, and they farmed in the Green Grove township until the time of his death.
