Helen helped on the farm with field work, milking cows, cooking and other various chores. She also worked as a waitress and server in several area restaurants and clubs. Family, faith and friends were Helen’s top priorities in life. She was a member at St. Olaf Lutheran Church and Ladies Aid where she held various offices and taught Sunday school. Helen enjoyed traveling, visiting with her family, watching Molly B’s Polka Party and dancing. A few special traveling trips were to Hawaii, the Nordic Fest in Decorah and the Hostfest in Minot. She also traveled with friends to the casino for country shows, playing slots and of course buffets. Helen enjoyed baking and sharing with family and friends her special pineapple nut cookies, waffle turtle cookies and sour cream chocolate chip cookies. Helen was a faithful Sunday viewer of the Christian Worship Hour, reading her pastor’s sermons each week and reading her daily devotions every morning when health issues caused her to be homebound.
