Reuben and Lucille Kerbs celebrate anniversary
Reuben and Lucille Kerbs of Tampa celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Sept. 15 with a family dinner at the Tampa Senior Center. There were approximately 90 in attendance.
A program of special music, sharing, and a video presentation highlighted the day.
Hosting the event were their children and spouses and their grandchildren. They are: Glenn and Eloise Kerbs, Reuben and Clayton, Tim and Marchelle Kerbs, April and Molly, Doug and Connie Thompson, Allison and Taylor, and Russ and Julie Kerbs, Ashton and Rustyn.
Reuben Kerbs and the former Lucille Gooding were married Sept. 14, 1952, at St. John's Lutheran Church at Tampa with the late Rev. Alvin Lade officiating.
Both attended Tampa High School.
Lucille has held several jobs, the most important of which was to be a stay-at-home mother and raise her children.
Reuben worked for the Rock Island and Southern Pacific railroads as a signal maintainer, retiring in 1985 after 40 years service. He also spent years farming and continues to enjoy that hobby.
