COLUMBUS - Brenda Boehm has been chosen as the Garden Angel for Columbus Garden Club 2023-24. Boehm has been in the garden club for 11 years. She routinely helps set up the club's meeting rooms, assists elderly members, plants pots and waters around the Colorado County Courthouse square in Columbus, and helps decorate down town for the Fall season as well as decorate the Colorado County Fairgrounds entrance for the Colorado County Fair. She has chaired the club's bake sale many times, the Scholarship Wagon, the Brookwood Volunteer Program, the E-Cycle program, and worked the Trash Off Event.
While working full-time, she has managed to faithfully attend meetings and participate in almost all club projects and activities. Boehm's first paying job was at Monument Hill Nursing Home in La Grange where she worked in the activity department with the residents. That is where she learned to love people and she developed her giving heart. Being one of the club's younger members, Boehm is eager and willing to be available for lifting, digging and carrying. She is greatly appreciated by the club members.
Columbus Garden Club has been the beneficiary of Boehm's devotion to the club for many years.
She is married to Shawn Schubert and has two daughters and five grandchildren. She also has three stepchildren with five step-grandchildren.
