Mr. and Mrs. Robert Holm
Bob and Marlene Holm of West Union will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on Monday, May 30.
Robert Holm and Marlene Schutz were married May 30, 1956, in Endicott, Wash. They made their first home in Twenty Nine Palms, Calif., while Bob was in the U.S. Marines. They spent a short time in Endicott and Denver, Iowa, before settling in West Union.
Bob started as a State Farm Insurance agent and Marlene was a homemaker, wife and secretary for the insurance agency. They would spend 40 years involved in the community, schools, and church before moving to Harpers Ferry for their retirement years. Last year, they returned to West Union to be closer to healthcare facilities and their local grandchildren.
Bob and Marlene raised three daughters, Theresa (Doug) Meyer of West Chicago, Ill.; Kimberly (Keith of St. Charles, Ill.) Hudon, who is deceased; and Cynthia Holm of West Union. They have been enjoying their seven grandchildren and recently a new great-granddaughter.
The couple will celebrate their 60 years of marriage over Memorial Day weekend with their immediate family in their home.
