Helen F. Foulke

Helen F. (Rathjens) Foulke of Milford Square, PA, died peacefully at home surrounded by her family. She was 93 years old. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 69 years, Ralph D. Foulke, Sr.

Born in Haycock Township, PA, she was a daughter of the late John and Marie (Raub) Rathjens—both of whom immigrated from Germany.

She is survived by her daughter: Diane Taylor (husband James) and sons: Dean Foulke (late wife Mitzi) and David Foulke (wife Maryann), grandchildren: Jennifer, David, Tara, Ryan, Brendan, Tyler; and seven great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by Dean’s son, Jason Foulke, and wife, Mitzi; sisters: Margaret Latshaw, Jeanette Zerwonka; and brother: Jacob Rathjens.

She and Ralph spent their retirement traveling to 49 states and Europe, spending time with family, and 26 winters at the Oaks Campground in Bushnell, FL, playing at being retired.

At home, Helen was a proud member of the Quakertown Eastern Star Chapter. She loved sharing the vegetables she grew in her garden with family and neighbors, and growing many flowers in her gardens. She also enjoyed making quilts with the West Swamp Mennonite Ladies Knotting group—the quilts they make are sent to people around the world who were in need.

A visitation will be held at the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., 821 West Broad Street, Quakertown, on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, from 10:00am until the time of the funeral service—in the funeral home—at 11:00am.

Interment will be in Quakertown Union Cemetery.
