Helen was united in marriage to the love of her life, William Charles Buelow, on December 2, 1950, at Sacred Heart Church. They were blessed with 2 children and were married for 30 years before Bill passed away on June 16, 1981. Helen was a hard worker and was employed as a trimmer at Dubuque Packing Company for several years until her well earned retirement. She was a member of Holy Ghost Church, UFCW Local 150-A, and the John Deere Retirees. Helen could regularly be found enjoying the sunshine and fresh air while sitting on her porch in Sageville where she lived for over 50 years. Helen loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also loved playing cards, especially Euchre, and enjoyed playing in tournaments at UAW Local #94, the Eagles Club, and Windsor Park. Helen enjoyed traveling throughout the US, Europe, Bahamas and Mexico. She will be greatly missed.
