The proceeds of a silent auc­tion to be held in conjunction with the American Legion break­fast on Sunday, Jan. 15 will go to Liza Wilde-Duehn to help defray funeral costs for her late hus­band.

Elwood “Woody” Duehn died unexpectedly on New Year’s Day inLakeBentonat the age of 29.

“They had no insurance and the funeral costs are mounting up,” said Jen Adolph, friend of Wilde-Duehn. “We wanted to do something to help take the pres­sure off of Liza during this dev­astating time in her life.”

Wilde and Duehn had been married for about six months and lived inLakeBenton.

Wilde-Duehn is currently a co-manager with Adolph at the Lake Benton American Legion, work­ing primarily in food service.

Adolph and Joyce Miller are seeking donations of items for the silent auction to be held from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. while the American Legion serves their monthly breakfast of pancakes and sausage.

Contact Jen Adolph or Joyce Miller at the Lake Benton Ameri­can Legion if you would like to donate items for the silent auc­tion.

“We appreciate all of the sup­port we have been given from the community,” said Adolph. “This will definitely help Liza in her time of need.”
