She was 82. "She always wanted to be a nurse. I think she liked caring for people. She had a lot of influence on our son, who is a neurosurgeon in Phoenix," said her husband, UC Professor Emeritus Dr. Herbert C. Preul. From 1964 to 1991, Mrs. Preul was a research nurse at the University of Cincinnati Student Health Service. The office was located in Scioto Hall. Students sometimes stayed at the facility for observation and diagnosis. The couple both worked at UC during this time. He was a professor in the engineering department. During the summers, she traveled to 22 countries with her husband when he was a consultant for the World Health Organization. She worked as an RN at several hospitals, including the University of Iowa, Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, Calif., the Charles T. Miller Hospital in Omaha, Neb., where she was instrumental in setting up a recovery room, and at hospitals in St. Paul, Minn. "She was a world traveler for actually carrying out assignments for the World Health Organization. She was a well-organized person," her husband said. Mrs. Preul was born on a small dairy farm near Orange City, Iowa. She was born premature because a cow kicked her mother in the stomach. Her baby crib was a shoe box in a chest of drawers, her husband said. She was salutatorian of her high school class in Alton, Iowa. During World War II, she was involved in a government program that trained cadet nurses. She earned a nursing degree from the University of Iowa. It was a Sunday afternoon when Mr. Preul met his wife. He was an engineering student at the University of Iowa, and she was a graduate nurse. In 1950, her father-in-law, the Rev. F.C. Preul, officiated at the couple's wedding at the Reformed Church of America in Orange City, Iowa. In 1964, the couple moved from Minnesota to College Hill, and in 1971 moved to Clifton. In 1971, the couple joined Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Clifton. Mrs. Preul was an active member, singing alto in the church choir and working in other capacities as needed. Other survivors include a son, Dr. Mark C. Preul of Scottsdale, Ariz.; a sister, Shirley DeRuyter of Sioux Center, Iowa; a brother, Robert Van Roekel of Orange City, Iowa; and five grandchildren.
