Helen Marie Hodge was born on July 16, 1925, in Schleswig, Iowa, the daughter of Herman and Marie (Bohrnsen) Petersen. Helen’s father passed away when she was a young girl, so her mother took her and her sister Emma to Germany. They lived there for a few years and, after Marie remarried, the family returned to the Schleswig area. Helen received her education in Schleswig and later worked at the telephone office in Pierson. She also spent a few years in Chicago, Illinois, working at Bell and Howell to aid the war effort. On April 6, 1947, Helen and (Thomas) Paul Hodge were united in marriage at Marshalltown, Iowa. They had a double wedding with Helen’s sister Emma and Paul’s brother Marlin. Helen and Paul made their home on a farm near Washta, Iowa. Along with raising her family, Helen also assisted Paul with all of the hard work associated with farm life. Helen was an active member of Meadow Star United Methodist Church, rural Washta, Iowa. She assisted with various functions and dinners, along with serving as a communion steward. Most of all, Helen was completely dedicated to caring for her family and looked forward to spending time with them. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Rita (Gene) Werthman of Englewood, FL, Luann (Don) Hammer of Salida, CO, and Connie (Christopher) Montoya of Kennewick, WA; three grandchildren, Jake (Ashley) Werthman of Overland Park, KS, Jenny Piwowar of Leesburg, FL, and Sierra Montoya of Kennewick, WA; three great-grandchildren, Katelyn Werthman, and Hunter and McKenzie Piwowar; step-grandchildren, Mark Werthman of Chicago, IL, Bill (Amy) Werthman of Livonia, MI, Amy (Craig) Sielaff of Milan, MI, Wendi (Ced) Nafziger of Longmont, CO, Kim (Mike) Puzo of Longmont, CO, Craig (Joann) Hammer of Wesminster, CO, and Sheridon (TJ) Simington of Frederick, CO; and several step-great-grandchildren.
