Grotegut, age 93, of Albert Lea, Minn., and formerly of Decorah, died Thursday, Feb. 10, 2011 at New Richland Care Center in New Richland, Minn. Beulah Iola Grotegut was born Feb. 5, 1918 to Herman and Josephine (Kittelson) Hendrickson on a homestead near Cando, N.D. She was baptized in her home and later confirmed at Hesper Lutheran Church in Hesper, near her family's farm. She attended country school there through the 8th grade and high school in Mable, Minn.

After their marriage, they farmed in rural Burr Oak, until 1956 when they moved to Decorah. Beulah worked for Montgomery Ward and later Decorah Community Schools as a school food service worker. Her organizational skills led her to a position as supervisor for the school district's hot lunch program from which she retired in 1983.
