Helen Pfeifer Obituary

The things she really cared about, though, stayed with her through her final days. She was a woman who treasured above all things her home in Victoria, Kansas, her expansive family, and her Catholic faith. Helen's life ended peacefully surrounded by many members of her family and many of her pictures and possessions that brought her comfort in life. Preceded in death by her husband of 39 years Ben, son Bernie, 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Survived by daughters Norma (Steve) Kane of Spring, TX, Helen (Al) Smyth of Wichita, KS, Anna Glover of Wichita, KS, Francie (Leo) Courtois of Valley Center, KS, Theresa (Gary) Wright of Clearwater, KS, brother John Arnhold of Grand Junction, CO, sister Juanita Hoffman of West Minister, CO, 25 grandchildren, 43 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren.
