The Tehachapi News 
Helen Mae Green
Feb. 21, 1923 – Jan. 16, 2005

A funeral service was held at 2 p.m. on Jan. 23 at Wood Family Funeral Service 
for Helen Mae Green, who passed away on Jan. 16, 2005.

Helen was born to August and Hazel Boschulte on Feb. 21, 1923, in Colorado 
Springs, Colo. While attending high school there she skated in the summer 
troupe of the ice follies. Upon graduation, she married Charles Crane Green of 
Denver. He had joined the Coast Guard and they spent 3-1/2 years in San 
Francisco where both daughters were born.

After the war, they returned to Denver where she was active in PTA and Girl 
Scouts and was the state of Colorado’s public relations chairman of the League 
of Women Voters.

The Greens’ love of the ocean prompted the move to California and they settled 
in Santa Monica in 1959. 

Helen was an accomplished seamstress, making many of her daughters’ clothes.

When they were in college, she and her husband became interested in sports 
cars. They purchased a Shelby Cobra and started racing it. She became Ladies 
Class A Southern California champion for three years. She often stated that it 
was the happiest five years of her life.

Helen was in her third semester of college, studying architecture, when a 
friend brought them to Tehachapi to ride their trail motorcycles on the roads 
being built in Golden Hills. They were enchanted with the area and in 1972, 
purchased the Old Leiva Station and Garage at Davis and G streets.

She soon started designing custom homes. There are more than 650 of them built 
in the area from her plans.

She also became active in the chamber of commerce and was a charter member of 
the downtown improvement committee. Her first project was to canvas the 
merchants on G Street for approval to rename it Tehachapi Boulevard. She did 
the cooking for the twice-yearly gourmet dinner, raising money for the 
planting of trees in the downtown area.

Helen served on the city planning committee. She, along with Del Troy, did the 
groundwork for the building of the railroad park.

Golfers will remember her as the “Horse Thief Filly” from the yearly pageant 
put on at their invitational.

Golf and needlepoint were her hobbies. She also did the illustrations for Judy 
Barras’s last book.

Helen was a member of PEO, the Hospital Guild, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 
the three local golf clubs and vice president of the civic center foundation.

She will be most remembered by her yearly ladies’ Christmas sherry parties 
where her many friends enjoyed her culinary arts.

She was preceded in death by her husband Chuck in 1987, and leaves her 
daughter Jacquelyn Schremser and husband Bill of Clark Fork, Idaho; daughter 
Barbara Guibault of Costa Mesa; grandson James Guibault and wife Robin of 
Huntington Beach; and two great-grandchildren.
