Glen was born on July 19, 1935 in Parkston, South Dakota to John J. and Bertha (Winter) Tiede. He died on Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2010, in Winterset at the age of 75.

He married Helen Lagge on June 2, 1957. As high school sweethearts, the couple served as the "brave and princess" during their homecoming celebration. They renewed their wedding vows during their daughter's wedding on June 2, 2001. Glen said he was lucky to have Helen as his cheer¬leader in high school, college and in life.

Glen graduated from Tripp High School in South Dakota. He went on to obtain his teaching degree from Southern State Teachers College in Springfield, SD where he was a four-sport athlete. He received his Masters degree at Wayne State in Nebraska.

Glen taught and coached at Lake Andes, SD and at Center, Valentine, and Pender, NE before moving to LeMars, IA where he and his wife Helen lived for over forty years. As a business teacher at LeMars Community High School, Mr. Tiede was known as a "no non¬sense teacher, who taught students the value of discipline and hard work. Glen also coached at many levels in the LeMars district, as well as in several community sports programs.

Glen served in the Army National Guard of South Dakota. He volunteered his time and energy for many years with the Le Mars American Legion Wasmer Post 241. Over his lifetime he enjoyed bowling, hunting, woodworking, playing cards at the Legion, and spending time with his four legged "granddogs". Favorite memories included playing Battleship with his grandsons and building their Friends Forever cabin.

After retiring from teaching, Glen and Helen became parttime residents of Westcliffe, Colorado, enjoying the Sangre de Cristo mountains and wildlife. They enjoyed traveling "out west," dancing, listening to music, and sharing good times with family and friends all of which came together at the celebration of their 50th anniversary at The Oak Creek Grade General Store in Westcliffe in 2007.

Glen and Helen moved to Winterset in 2009, where they enjoyed retirement living at Madison Square. Most of all, Glen loved sharing special times with his family.

He is survived by his wife, Helen; and his children, Glenn and Terri (Rowenhorst)Tiede of Westcliffe, CO; Vicky and Mike Brenner of Winterset, IA; and Brock and Margaret (Brenner
Timbers of Rosemount, MN. Glen was extremely proud of his "grandchildren" Logan and Tristan Brenner Timbers. He shared his love, generosity and kindness with many "adopted" family members.

This extended family included Richard and Shirley Timbers; Dan and Julie Albert and sons Joseph, Matthew, and Michael; Chet and Shannon Hufmann and children Zach and Kylie; Reverend Jason and Jessica Larson and children; and Joe and Amanda Schieffer and son Lewis William.

Glen was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, Verola Frey; and two brothers, Loren and Ronald Tiede; brother-in¬laws Allen, Norris, and Loren Lagge; and sister-in-law Shirley Lagge Bourelle.
