The two were united in marriage on March 9, 1945 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia at St. John’s Congregational Church. Mrs. Stoebe arrived in the United States in July of 1946 where she was met by her husband in San Francisco. The couple made their home in Humboldt where Mr. Stoebe practiced law and Nola maintained the family home, occasionally helping at the law office. Mr. Stoebe passed away on May 31, 1986 and Nola continued to maintain her home in Humboldt. In July of this year she took up residence with her son Kurt John and his family and most recently the Hospice Home in Fort Dodge where she passed away.
