Harriet (SPELTZ) GLUBKA, 97, died peacefully Tuesday, September 22, 2015 in her room at Churchill Estates Retirement Community in Eugene OR, surrounded by family.
Harriet was born in Altura MN in 1918, grew up on a farm with six siblings, and graduated from Winona High School.
She married Harry Addison GLUBKA of Winona in 1940. Addison died in 1969. The couple had five children.
Harriet loved learning. While in the midst of mothering, she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and a Masters Degree in Educational Counseling from Winona State College. In later life she became a teacher of Transcendental Meditation and lived for years in Fairfield, Iowa where a university associated with the TM Movement is located.
While in Iowa, she helped organize a Peer Group for older Meditators and was a member of a Meditator's writing group. Her writing is published in the group's collection, Being Our Own Heroes. Harriet also became an Options Dialogue counselor, valued by many as an insightful, helpful listener.
