Helen Goldberg

1929 - 2025

Helen Ingels Goldberg passed away peacefully on September 26, 2025 at her residence at Oak Park Senior Living.

Helen was born on April 14, 1929, in Clear Lake, WI. Raised as an only child on her family's dairy farm, she graduated from Clear Lake High School in 1947. Helen continued her education at UW-River Falls, completing a teaching degree, and later obtained a master's degree in literature from the University of Minnesota. In 1990, Helen retired from the Stillwater School District, where she taught English 10 and Journalism for 31 years. Prior to Stillwater, she taught at River Falls, Winona, and Colfax.

Due to her love for adventure, Helen spent the majority of her summers traveling overseas. She visited over 27 countries, primarily in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. When at home in Minnesota, she continued her appreciation for culture and the arts by frequently attending plays and local excursions, as well as regularly participating in classes at the YMCA. A member of Oak Ridge Community Church since moving to Stillwater, Helen loved her church family and faithfully served in the choir, on several committees, and in women's ministry. She also loved spending time with her family and attending various activities for her grandchildren, and eventually, her great-grandchildren.
