So very grateful for having met Helga. I only wish we could have met earlier in our lives. I'll never forget when she joined Recipe Club and how much she loved being a part of that group of ladies. She was a fabulous hostess and cook, loved entertaining and sharing her delicious German recipe's. We had many sometimes lengthy phone conversations. She loved sharing her stories about life in Germany and living through World War II. Sharing about her family and how much she deeply cared and loved them and her many friends. I feel so blessed to have known her. Dear friend you are so greatly missed and you will never be forgotten.

Helga was very much a people person. I remember when I first met her, it was late 1999 and my unit was still under construction. I came by to see how the job is progressing and I ran into Helga. She was planting some flowers and stopped what she was doing to chat with me. I learned that we both are from Europe and we both survived World War II, so we had a lot in common to talk about. When I finally moved in, in April of 2000 Helga took me under her wing. She showed me places like the library, the museum, stores and so on. She introduced me to a group of German ladies, I was the only Polish member in the group but they were very welcoming. We had a lot of fun together. Getting lunch, night swimming at one of the ladies' private pool, and going for hikes. We walked every day, I was pushing a stroller with my granddaughter with one hand and walking my dog Lucky with the other hand.
Later on when we were both less physically active, Helga and I always attended the operas transmitted from the New York Metropolitan Opera.
She was a great friend and someone you can always count on. We miss her.
Love, Ilona.

Helga loved any reason to "party" as I recall. Every person and occasion was special. Living life was her goal. Her smile and warmth were endearing to all. Did she have a temper? Family and friends were special treasures. May she continue dancing and laughing up there.

Those of us in Kansas always looked forward to your road trips to Kansas, and our trips to Colorado. Fun times and cheerful memories. Helga loved life and it showed in her smile.

I moved to this neighborhood as a single, widowed woman and Helga was the first to get a luncheon together to welcome me. From that point on her sweet smile and wave greeted me from across the yard warming my heart and making me feel at home and we developed a closeness, like family. Her stories she told, the care and love she had for her family and friends was immense. She was the best hostess, making the most delicious food. She truly impacted my life and will never be forgotten and will always hold a place in my heart.
Miss you my friend - Love, Sandy

I worked with Helga for many years, she was a lovely, lively person who always enjoyed putting people at ease and making them feel welcome. When I think of Helga I will always remember her smiling and laughing - and offering food! She made a positive difference in the lives of so many, myself included.

Grandma, I miss you so much! What brings me some comfort is remembering all the great times we shared together. My favorite memories are all the great home cooked meals and holidays, times up at the family cabin, and trips together (Europe, cruise, and times out on the east coast). You were always there for me and I will never forget it.

Rich and I will never forget Helga. A very giving and caring person that we miss dearly.

My dearest friend, Helga.
I’m grateful for having you as a job share partner at the Westminster Library where we met some 40 years ago. After retirement, we stayed in touch meeting for regular lunches where we had long meaningful conversations. We talked about everything sharing our lives with one another.
Bob and I so enjoyed attending the numerous Saturday evening plays with you and Bill at the Arvada Center, more good memories. I cherish the fun times we had and am thankful for such a special friend. I miss you each and every day and always will.
With love, Sharon

Helga was born in Bremerhaven Germany. She met Wayne. They married and she had 2 children, Doreen (1958), Patty (1961). Not long after Patty was born, She came to America.
She became an American citizen on Sept 18, 1966. She was very determined to become an American citizen, as she had fears that they would make her leave the country.
Helga was an amazing seamstress; fashioning Easter outfits for her girls with out the use of a sewing machine. She went on to become a Girl Scout Troop leader, She loved the giggles of the girls, and taught them many skills.
She began a career as a librarian, quickly moving up the ranks. This was entirely due to her own personality and skills. She received a certificate of appreciation for her dedication to her position and for her friendly demeanor dealing with library patrons.
In 1981 she met Bill. They quickly fell in love and married on March 12, 1983.
They cruised the world together. She loved and lived for the travels that they went on.
She loved having social gatherings and entertaining friends. She loved to golf. She thoroughly enjoyed opera, and went with friends to see plays at the Arvada Center.
In her later years she enjoyed the friendships she made in a recipe club that she belonged to. She was the most elegant hostess, enjoying the many friends that she had. Her life was filled with the things she loved to do.

I picked up the phone today, just to call and say hi. Bill answered. I apologized for bothering him. When I am feeling so down, I truly miss your voice. Your unconditional love and support.
Sure we had our troubles, but you were always there for me no matter what. I just want you to know that Bill and I are trying to find a party to celebrate your life. With Covid it has been a challenge! But we haven't forgotten. This small memorial has given me some peace, but I will not rest until there is a very special party for you! The most amazing woman in MY LIFE!
I truly miss you.
