Helen Mahnke

I have been in Helen's life over 8 years. It was fun running around to do your errands plus anything else that needed to be done. Always fun to meet your friends and neighbors. Thank you for introducing me as your friend. You will be missed.

I'm Helen's grandson Kerr. I will always remember how much my grandma always made me feel at home whenever I got to visit her. From the moment she greeted me whether I was a little kid or an adult visiting with my son Ambrose, the moment I saw my grandma I knew we were very welcome guests. On one visit I will never forget, my son who was then 4 or 5 years old, as if reflecting his great grandmother's hospitality, asked grandma to pull up a chair and have a conversation with him. He was known to get as Granny, and I could always see the he felt as welcome in her home as I did because he was. We were. Grandma, thank you for the love you shared and the memories you gave me. You will always live on in my heart.

We just learned of Aunt Helen’s passing when we tried to call her on her birthday. We are saddened to hear this news. She was very special to us. May she RIP!!! Vinnie & Barb Work and family
