Helen Elizabeth Horgeshimer, 61, of Fertile, MN, died on Sunday, April 19, 2015, at her residence. She was born on March 28, 1954, in Newport, Rhode Island, to Buddy and Lenora (Judy) Horgeshimer. As her father was in the United States Navy, Helen lived in many cities around the United States. Following her graduation from Dublin, CA, High School in 1972, Helen began working as a Certified Nursing Assistant and lived Terrebonne and Mentor, MN, Spring Field, OH, Grand Island and Lincoln, NE. Helen had the privilege of caring for her Grandma Horgeshimer until her death. Since 1999, she lived in Crookston, MN, and, as she would say, "entertained the customers" at Hardee's. In 2009, Helen moved to Sunshine Court in Fertile to be closer to family.
Helen was strong willed and never wanted to burden anyone. Yet, her caring nature always thought of others more than herself. Her infectious smile brightened others life's that in turn made Helen happier. She enjoyed answering questions from Wheel of Fortune or other TV shows—and actually knowing most the answers prior to the contestant responding. She was an excellent cribbage and card player. Helen will be deeply missed by those who knew her.
Helen is survived by her brother, David (Cindy Hill), Fertile, MN; step-mother, Mavis Horgeshimer, Bemidji, MN; half-brother, John (Mindy), Horgeshimer, Indiana; and steps siblings: six brothers and four sisters. She is preceded in death by her parents and one brother, James Horgeshimer.
