Vera Elaine Szabo was born on February 22, 1930 in Castalia, IA to Emil and Mildred (Oldag) Kamp. She was baptized at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Postville and was confirmed at Frankville Community Church on March 29, 1945. Vera graduated from Postville High School on May 24, 1950. She married Edward Szabo, her best friend, on June 24, 1950. Together they had four sons: Edward, James, Daryl and Thomas. Vera worked at home and took care of her four boys. When they got older, she started working out of the home. Vera worked for a factory in Spring Grove for four years then for Northern Engraving in Waukon for twenty-three years. When they closed down, she moved to Decorah and worked for six years as a caregiver until she had a back injury. Her favorite joy was her work and being with her family: children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
