After marriage, Helen and Milo worked in Des Moines for several years before moving back to the family farm in Newell, Iowa, where they raised their family and became active members of Bethel Baptist Church. After Helen and Milo retired from the farm, Helen worked at the Orange Tree Travel as a travel agent and the Newell Public Library as the head librarian. Helen will always be remembered for her sweet, gracious spirit which was evident to all who met and knew her. Helen’s gift of music through the piano, organ, and singing was a blessing to many people in the Des Moines and Newell areas through the years. Helen moved to Waterloo, Iowa in 2012, where she lived with her daughter, Sharon, and most recently lived at Bickford Cottage of Cedar Falls, Iowa, until the time of her death. Helen was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Milo; and sister, Dorothy Van Hermert.
