Lollie Grob was born April 5, 1921, the daughter of Gustav and Rose (Lubenow) Berndt. She grew up on the family farm near Great Bend and attended a nearby rural school. She later graduated from Wahpeton High School. Lollie was united in marriage to Carl Grob on June 27, 1941, at Great Bend. They moved to Minneapolis, Minn., where Carl was drafted into the U.S. Army. Lollie worked at the Twin Cities Arsenal in New Brighton, Minn., before she moved to Seattle, Wash., where she worked in the shipyards. She later moved to Oakland, Calif., where she became employed as a streetcar driver for the East Bay Transit Company. After Carl was honorably discharged in 1945 the couple returned to Great Bend, where they farmed. The couple moved to Arizona in 1969 due to Carl’s MS.
