She was also a loving grandmother to Douglas (Jill) Cauwels, Dennis (Amy) Cauwels, Jason Cauwels, Allison (Matt) Kmieciak, the late Kristen Cauwels, Martin Bartz, and the late Aimee (Thomas) Sanji.

Helen worked for United Airlines for 25 years before retiring in 1987. She continued her travels around the world for 20 years with her friends and family. She was an avid gardener, the President of her Homeowners Association for over 20 years and she loved to play board and card games.

We love you Mom, Grandma and GG and thank you for being a part of our lives during your 98 years of life. May God rest your soul.
