Her two youngest daughters, Dorothy and Jeannine moved with her. Dorothy was already married, but her husband Neal was away in the service as well. Dorothy had her first child in Janesville.

In the 1960's they retired from the farm to Milaca. Gustav changed a lot as he aged and in 1979 Helen moved back to the Minneapolis area.
