She married Anton (Tony) Wingeier and they enjoyed 69 years of wedded bliss. Tony preceded her in death in 2019. Helen was also preceded in death by daughter, Lucinda Jo; granddaughter, Jessica Dettmann; brothers, Muriel, Robert and Lyle; and sister, Ruth Graham.

Also surviving is her sister, Jean VandenBos and several nieces and nephews. Helen was truly a servant of God and a blessing to anyone that knew her. She was always busy and helping others no matter what was needed, kind hearted and knowledgeable and all with a quick wit and sense of humor. She enjoyed acting with the Village Players of Middleville for several years and her cinnamon rolls for the Easter breakfast at Peace were always a big hit.
