Following graduation she began working for Cooper Manufacturing. On Christmas Day of 1935, she began her day as Helen Tigges and that night at 10:00 p.m. (after waiting because of the blizzard) was married to Earl Goecke at the Marshalltown home of Rev. A.O. Bishop Pastor of the Minerva Wesley Chapel. Their honeymoon consisted of dinner after the ceremony and night at the Tallcorn in Marshalltown.
