Helen Mae Feyh Chuchka

Helen was born the youngest of 4 children in Kansas on July 1, 1934, to August and Katie Feyh. When she was 5 years old the family moved to Cheyenne Wells, Colorado. She completed her schooling there and upon graduation moved to Colorado Springs to attend business school. It was there she met Stephen Turner Chuchka who was enlisted in the Air Force; and they were married on September 4, 1955.

Helen and Steve were blessed with 3 children, Stephen Michael (Mike), Kendra Lea and Shawn LaVonne.

After living in Colorado Springs, California, and Germany, they were reassigned and settled in Bellevue, Nebraska at Offutt Air Force base. Upon retirement, they purchased and operated Space Lanes bowling center in Bellevue for several years. Mamaw was well known in the family for her chicken paprikash and white cake with chocolate sauce. A big hit with the grand kids!
