Funeral services at the First United Methodist Church in Iowa Falls. Helen Marie Dass was the second daughter born to Charles and Mary Hoelscher Dass, on December 24, 1924, on a farm south of Iowa Falls in Hardin County. She attended Ellis No. 5 Country School. Helen loved the farm and everything that went with it. When there was no school she and her sisters, Jeanette and Arlene, would help pick corn by hand along with other chores like helping mow the lawn, gather eggs, which she loved doing, until she would get pecked while reaching for the eggs. She walked beans and cornrows for button weeds and cockle burrs. When the folks moved to town she didn’t know what she would do and wasn’t happy. That’s when her brother-in-law and sister Jeanette told her she could move out to the farm with them. She loved it and was happy she could drive a John Deere tractor but didn’t want anything to do with cars. Later she had to move to town with Jeanette when Jeanette's husband passed away. She started painting pictures and arranging flowers. She was always a sports fan. She bowled for 50 years or more. She liked football, baseball, and basketball. Lots of her friends called her to find out what time, what station, and what teams were playing. She was a great fan of the Twins, Cubs and Iowa. Another love was cards. She enjoyed playing five hundred, bridge, pepper, rummy, and dominoes and, of course, loved watching TV. Helen had many friends and couldn’t wait for her 85th birthday. She got over 170 cards and telephone calls that her sister took for her. One of her good friends bought some soup bowls, which tickled Helen because of the size of them. She got a big laugh and so he bought Helen two bowls and a large can of soup. When she opened that package she got tickled all over again. She liked shows like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Shirley Temple, and Abbott and Costello and The Ritz brothers. She used to go to Buckeye, sit on the planks and watch silent movies. When TV came along, she quit that and watched TV sitting at home in an easy chair. When she would go to the Rose Bowl with her sister and husband to visit, her sister Arlene and her husband would get Carrol, her brother-in-law, to bowl with her and laugh the next day because he would be stiff and sore. Jeanette tried to teach her how to make pie crust, but when she didn’t get enough flour on her hands and the crust stuck to them, she threw it down and said forget it. She was a good cook but didn’t want to bake. Helen passed away peacefully at Ellsworth Municipal Hospital on April 10, 2010. She is survived by two sisters, Jeanette White of Iowa Falls, and Arlene Hughes, of Clear Lake. She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers-in-law. Surls Funeral Home, Iowa Falls, Iowa
