Later they moved to the Riedemann family home farm, three miles east of Primghar, where the couple farmed with Vernon’s father for many years. In 1971, the couple moved in to Primghar. Vernon preceded her in death on February 21, 1993 in Primghar. Gladys remained in the family home until moving to the Primghar Care Center in September of 2007.
