Helen Reichert

October 5th 1938 - July 26th 2023

Helen was a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Helen loved life and lived it to the fullest. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading, gardening, shopping and traveling with her friend Rosalie.

Helen and her husband Charlie, were married for almost 66 years. The love they shared was evident to anyone who knew them. They had a love like no other. They shared four grandchildren together. Her license plate “Gramof4” showed how proud she was to be a grandmother.

The Charles and Helen Reichert Foundation was created to give back to the community that they loved so dearly. “Helen’s Playground” is named after a woman who would be honored and humbled to see children enjoy playing and being kids.
