On Dec. 22, 1926, she married George C. Kolbus. They lived at Maxwell for 16 years when they purchased a farm southeast of Iowa Falls where they farmed until their retirement in 1965. They spent their winters in Tucson, Ariz. until last year, when they moved to Jewell.

Mrs. Kolbus is survived by her husband, George; one daughter Lela Barr of Jewell; four grandchildren; and one sister, Lois Aldrich of Mason City.

She was preceded in death by her parents and one grandson, Steven Barr.
