My friendship with Helen dates back to my student days at Indiana Universityand her encouragement that I attend Ohio State for graduate school. The years serving together toward the welfare of Camp Manito-wish YMCA were indeed special ones. I shall truly remember and appreciate Helen Godfrey.

I met Dean Godfrey when I was a freshman at UWSP. When I was President of Associated Women Students., she was a caring and wise mentor.A club trip to the University of West Viginia, driving through Appalachia with her at the helm, was memorable. Under her guidance I transferred to the University of Wisconsin Madison where I received my BS in Nursing. I have been a pediatric RN in Colorado all these years and hold her in the highest regard. She influenced my life greatly AND gave me a sweet baby kitten to love when I was a sophomore at UWSP! Godspeed Helen, you are a wonderful lady.

I was fortunate to have Helen as a roommate when I was a freshman at the U. of Wis. Madison; she was a soph. and I a lowly freshman. She took me under her wing and we roomed together for 2 years. We spent time at her cottage after finals were over and I was invited to her home and have met her family. Our lives took different paths so have lost touch during the passing years. Such memories will remain. Sincerely, Joanne (Heil) Sanborn

Friends of Helen,
There must be literally hundreds of us. What a dynamic, warm person. She stood tall for what she believed in and took action. Her efforts in behalf of Womens Athletics motivated me to continue to support Womens Athletics from her modeling. She was a quiet strong leader that made a differencce. May we as Friends of Helen continue to march to the drumbeats of equity, justice and kindness. Thanks for blessing my life. RIP, Greg Markovich

You have my heartfelt sympathy, love & care for your loss. This lady was a amazing woman. A true trailblazer, caring, kind person. Both of us were featured on the front page of the journal with our Cancer battles. We exchanged cards. I feel we're finally painfree once we pass over. She will live on forever with all she's done! All the hearts she's touched. We are better for having known her! RIP dear, sweet fighter. You are loved and never forgotten. One day there will be our Cure. One day I'll see you again. Until then walk in the gardens and lakes in heaven..

Mrs Godfrey was truly an assest to the university community as well as the area community. She was such a wonderful help to our son when he was attending the university and had the misfortune of losing his best friend and roommate to suicide while he was a freshman at UWSP....she went out of her way to make that difficult time a little easier and she will always be remembered fondly by our family. Rest in Peace ,dear Lady!

I have known Helen for 35 years, and had the pleasure of working with her as a Professor of Psychology when I joined the staff. In addition to her many academic and business accomplishments, and her professional titles over her busy lifetime, Helen was a down-to-earth, genuine, caring, compassionate and generous 'commoner' with a great sense of humor. Whether you were a company president or a street sweeper, Helen always greeted you with a warm smile, and called you by name. She was my role model. A finer human being would be hard to find. She will be missed by countless friends. Blessings Helen. Jane Burroughs

Sorry to read of Dr. Godfrey's passing. She was a lovely person and wonderful neighbor of ours on Round Lake in Waupaca. I am certain that she will be missed by all of those on Round Lake.
