Milford Kenneth Helgeson was born on December 28, 1919 in Winnebago County, Iowa, to parents Tilford and Louise (Honsey) Helgeson. He attended and graduated from Lake Mills High School. On June 28, 1946 Milford was united in marriage with Doris Elaine Bjelland at Silver Lake Lutheran Church. The couple made their home and raised a family near Lake Mills where Milford farmed. Milford was a longtime member of Salem Lutheran Church where he was confirmed as a young man, and served on church boards as an adult. Throughout the years, he was active with farming, politics, and the community of Lake Mills volunteering on the LMCS school board, ASCS board, and WCTA board of directors. He was the definition of a Midwestern farmer: planting seeds, checking crops, harvesting his bounty and introducing turkeys to the area. Milford was consistently looking for projects to keep active and involved on the farm and with his family. Milford took great pride in his family and loved every minute he was able to spend with them. Survivors include his three children, Janice Helgeson, David Helgeson, and Michael (wife Rosalie) Helgeson, all of Lake Mills; six grandchildren, Tara (Jon) Stene of Zumbrota, MN, Jessica (Nick) McLawhorn of Minneapolis, MN, Rachel Helgeson of Minneapolis, MN, Ryan (Kelli) Helgeson of Northfield, MN, Justin (Megan) Helgeson of Okoboji, IA, and Matthew (Julianne) Helgeson of Lake Mills; and 13 great-grandchildren, Tyler, Jenna, William, Téa, Zoe, Drew, Josie, Hayden, Conner, Lane, Brooks, Mae, and Henrik. Milford is also survived by a sister-in-law Verna Helgeson of Lake Mills, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; wife Doris in 2011; five brothers Stanley (Neoma) Helgeson, Harry (Eileen) Helgeson, Kurtis Helgeson, Truman (Phyllis) Helgeson, and Vernon (Barbara) Helgeson; and a sister-in-law Lorraine Bliss. Milford’s family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to caregiver Julie Rice and to the Hospice of North Iowa team.
