  Van Ooyen, Luella Louise (Mrs. George L.) Luella Louise Van Ooyen, 87, passed away Saturday, Sept. 1, 2007. She was born on Dec. 18, 1919, in Appleton, the daughter of Roy and Amanda (Burmeister) Helser, and was a resident of Appleton all of her life.

She was also a graduate of the former Zion Parish School. Luella was employed by Zwicker Knitting Mills for 42 years, retiring in 1980 as a supervisor. She was a co-founder of the Zwicker Retiree's Association, which she guided for many years. She loved to travel, which she did extensively during her life, and to play endless hours of cards with her many friends and the co-residents of Zion Mutual Homes. Survivors include one niece, Diane A. (Recker) Trendel (Jerome), Iola, Wis., and two nephews, James G. Recker and David R. Recker (Crystal), both of Appleton; nieces-in-law, Audry A.
