Betty Yvonne (Lukecart) Schmidthuber was born on January 19, 1928, in Hutchinson, Minnesota, to Cecil and Leone (Fisher) Lukecart. Growing up, she attended schools in Albert Lea, Minnesota.

Dale Rollo Schmidthuber was born on February 2, 1929, in Worth County, Iowa, to Michael and Ragnhild “Lolla” (Helland) Schmidthuber. Growing up, he attended schools in Emmons, Minnesota, and Lake Mills, Iowa.

On July 17, 1954, they married in Mason City, Iowa. On March 10, 1956, they moved to Lake Mills during a blizzard.

Betty worked at Deluxe Manufacturing in Lake Mills for many years before she fulfilled her dream to become a hairstylist. On March 11, 1976, she graduated from Capri Cosmetology College in Mason City, Iowa. Upon graduating and receiving her license from the State of Iowa, she opened Betty’s Hair Styling on Main Street in Lake Mills. Betty operated her salon until she retired, and then, she was able to enjoy her passion for golf with Dale and their many friends.

After Dale graduated from Emmons High School, he purchased a filling station on Main Street in Emmons. At the age of 21, he was drafted into the United States Army. He served in Korea during the Korean War.

After he returned from war, Dale went to work for the Interstate Power Company where he remained until he retired after thirty-eight years. Then, he could enjoy his true passion, playing golf at the Rice Lake Golf and Country Club.

Dale and Betty are survived by their daughter, Karen Christensen, of New Mexico, and their son, Lee Schmidthuber, of Pennsylvania; five grandchildren, Jodi Christensen of Texas, Joshua Christensen of New Mexico, Amy Schmidthuber, Taylor Schmidthuber, and Sam Schmidthuber, all of Pennsylvania; three great granddaughters, Jordyn Yates, of Texas, and Celia and Gabriela Christensen of New Mexico; a brother, Leo Schmidthuber, of Lake Mills; a sister, Doris Stamatelos, of West Des Moines, Iowa; and a sister-in-law, Marjorie Lukecart, of Albert Lea, Minnesota; as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.

Their family would like to thank and pay special tribute to Nancy and Richard Oltman. Nancy was always referred to as Dale and Betty’s guardian angel.
