Audrey Dolores Mehus was born July 4, 1931, to Emil and Agnes (Straka) Wolff on the family farm in rural Glenville. She was baptized at home and confirmed at First Lutheran Church in Glenville. Audrey attended country school in Glenville and then graduated from Albert Lea High School in 1949. She went on to teacher training in Austin. She taught at Country School  No. 77 from 1950-1954. Audrey was united in marriage to Eugene Kenneth Mehus on July 4, 1953, at First Lutheran Church in Glenville. Gene and Audrey lived in Glenville all their lives. They moved into their home at the time of her death in 1958. Audrey was a homemaker while raising their four children. She then started working for the Glenville school district as a substitute and tutor for special education and regular education. In 1979, she became head cook, where she worked for 19 years.

Recently, Audrey enjoyed being involved with the Reader’s Theatre at Glenville Elementary and she was most proud of being the “reading grandma,” where she read books to the students at Glenville-Emmons for 15 years. Gene and Audrey enjoyed traveling, especially on Amtrak, going dancing and clock hunting.
