Helga Stang Obituary

Helga Stang, 84, of Mentor, passed away Friday, Sept. 11, 2020. Helga began her journey March 26, 1936, in Nieder-Erlenbach, Germany. She was very young when she met and married her late husband, Hans and they traveled to Willoughby, in May of 1956 with their daughter, Heidi. Holly came along in 1960, and the family moved to Mentor in 1962, living in the family home until her death. Helga was a notable chef and published a cookbook in 1982. She became a local celebrity with television and News-Herald coverage. Helga is survived by her daughters, Heidi (Robert) Fatica and Holly Canfield; and granddaughter, Chelsea (Matt) Balestino. “Per Mom’s request there will not be a service and her ashes will be with Dad.” Arrangements are entrusted to McMahon-Coyne-Vitantonio Funeral Homes in Willoughby and Mentor.

Helga was like a second mom to me growing up. I can close my eyes and still see her in her kitchen.

Heidi and I have kept in close contact over the years but I loved keeping in touch with you too. We hadn't seen each other in years but when I spoke with you I always felt like I was just around the corner. You were like a second Mom to me. I will always remember that wonderful plum cake! love you

Whenever I spoke with Helga it would remind me of being home in Mentor. I remember her baking her wonderful plum cake. It was so good and smelled fantastic. She was very special to me.

Helga would shop at Drug Mart often. She’d always have a smile on her face & offer a friendly “ hello.” What a wonderful lady! She will definitely be missed!

Helga was my neighbor for over 30 years. I could count on her for Anything from a cup of sugar to a generous slice of plum tart to a ride to the ER and everything in between. I will certainly miss her. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to all her family and friends.
