Through the amazing story telling to her grandchildren & great grandchildren, she passed a legacy that lasts forever in our minds, but rests forever in our hearts. Many called her home, "Up North", and made sure everyone knew it was "Where the coffee is always hot and the beer is always cold." "I remember and cherish all the great times we had with Grandma. Spending weekends and summer vacations up north with her are some of my best memories. She was sweet, loving, and warm person. I will always know her that way." Love, Greg. "We loved how Grandma made each and every one of us feel like we were her favorite. She was always welcoming and accepting of everyone. We will miss her generous and loving spirit." Love, Kip. "Iser". We will miss the pumpkin pies she made at thanksgiving and the apple sauce she made in batches. And "Ainer"…her baking chocolate cakes and her chocolate chip cookies for special occasions when we visited during the summers. Love, Jamie, Rob, Kyle, Justine, and Ryan. "I hope Granny's decision will help in finding a cure for Macular Degeneration and I will miss my Best Friend." Love, Shelly and Don. Helen was a member of the United Church of Christ, Kaukauna WI. Helen donated her body to the University of Wisconsin Madison, a decision she made to help in the pursuit to find a cure to Macular Degeneration and Arthritis. She also requested to not have a funeral service. Helen will have a private burial at a date to be set in the future.
