Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Karen Schmidt Truebenbach-Schmocker


After graduation I worked as an IBM unit record mchine operator, which means we used stacks and stacks of keypunched cards to get the results we wanted. OMG !

I married Ronald Truebenbach in 1965. We had three sons. When our youngest was ten, I went back to work, but my knowledge of unit record was obsolete, as were the machines I knew. I worked in a specialty dental office as a receptionist and was promoted to office manager. Ron died after a seven month battle with a rare form of acute leukemia. We had thirty happy years!

Soon after my husband's death, my son and his two year old son came "back home". After fifteen years in the dental office, I retired early to help take care of my first grandchild. He brought joy back into my world. They lived with me for six years.

I met Ellis (Pete) Schmocker at a WOW (widow and widowers) Club. We married in 2005. He is a retired dairy farmer. We built a beautiful home on a piece of the farm land in the Town of Genesee. His son lives in the original farm house. FYI: When we graduated in 1961, a pantry was made into a bathroom, and the kitchen hand pump was replaced with running water. It was hard for me to imagine. This city girl has learned much about all that farmers do.

We are blessed to have found a second chance at love. We enjoy traveling and spending time with our six grandchildren.
