George Stoffer, 95, of Kirksville, Missouri, formerly of Corydon, Iowa, passed away peacefully Monday, February 10, 2020, at Kirksville Manor Care Center. Helen was the sixth daughter and ninth child of Thomas Edward and Marie Etta (Comstock) George of rural Wayne County, born May 17, 1924, in Wright Township east of Bethlehem, Iowa. She lived on the family farm until she married. She attended eight years at the North Salem one-room schoolhouse, graduating with honors. She attended four years at Corydon High School and graduated third in the class of 1944. Her major was Normal Training, the Art of Teaching. Helen taught one year at the Tuskeego rural school near Lamoni, Iowa, for $100.00 per month. Helen married her high school sweetheart, Paul Everett Stoffer, on December 24, 1944, in Carlsbad, New Mexico, where Paul was stationed in the USAF training as an airplane pilot and later in airplane maintenance. To this loving union, three children were born: Paul Eugene, Carl Lynn, and Jennifer Jill. Helen enjoyed serving in her community and was involved in several organizations, often in leadership roles, including PTA, Hospital Auxiliary, Legion Auxiliary, Band Parents, Christian Women’s Fellowship, Prairie Trails Museum, Republican Party, Girl Scouts, Women’s Golf League, BPW, Bowling League. She loved family, friends, golf, bowling, square dancing, antiquing, genealogy, bridge (belonging to 2-3 groups), and was one of the founding members of ONO. She was a member of the First Christian Church in Corydon. Helen was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and GG. She was always loving, kind, and creative. In 1947, Helen was in a severe car wreck that left her in a wheelchair, but she showed resiliency and tenacity by teaching herself to walk again surprising her husband. She was a full-time homemaker and a part-time bookkeeper at Stoffer’s Automotive. For several years, she had a radio program on KCOG Centerville called “Corydon Comments”. She was known far and wide for her beautifully decorated and delicious cakes. Her cinnamon rolls were always welcome gifts to friends and family, especially at holidays. These words may be black and white, but Helen was a colorful person who has left our lives so very enriched.
