Helen Farnham Obituary
Helen was predeceased by her parents, three brothers, a son-in-law, and in 2004, her husband. Survivors are daughters Elizabeth [Walter] Keller; Nancy [Frank] Pawlowski; Helen R. Farnham; Karin Powell; and Marjorie [William] Berens; and twenty-three grandchildren.
Having come to faith at an early age in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, Helen was passionate about evangelism and home and foreign missions, giving support through finances, prayer, and encouragement. She was active in church ministries throughout her adult life. For many years she was an elementary school teacher and reading specialist in the Naperville public schools while rearing five children in the Naperville area. Her life-long interests included education and music.
