Helen was known for her vibrant spirit and her ability to strike up a conversation with anyone she met. She cherished her time with family, particularly her beloved grandchildren, and her warmth created a welcoming atmosphere wherever she went. Her dedication to her work was unparalleled; she spent over 30 years at Wells Toy Manufacturing in New Vienna, where she was not just a diligent worker but a cherished member of the team. Even after her retirement, Helen's commitment to service continued as she worked for 15 more years at Wal-Mart, treating every customer with the same care and friendliness she offered to those closest to her.

A lover of bingo and the lottery, Helen enjoyed life's simple pleasures and brought joy to many through her infectious laughter and gentle heart.
