Helen Iwert Obituary
She was a 1948 graduate of DeForest High School. Helen married Walter "Eddie" Iwert on June 16, 1956. Together they raised two daughters. Eddie preceded Helen in death in 1996. During her working years, Helen did clerical work for Farmers Mutual Insurance and later for Wisconsin Cheeseman. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and aunt. She cherished spending time with her granddaughters.
She loved to have fun, keep up on Wisconsin sports, and always enjoyed a cold Bud Light when socializing at her favorite places like Homestead and Arlington Inn and doing Brewery Tours with her granddaughters. She will always be remembered for her patriotism, festive spirit and driving her 1950 Ford pickup in the Arlington parade.
Helen is survived by her daughter, Debbie (Mark) DeMinter; twin granddaughters, Abigail (Alex) Diehl, Andrea (Hugo) Naxi; and many loved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Eddie; daughter, Diane Iwert; sister, Frances (Robert) Rademacher; sister-in-law, Betty (Walt) Nieman and other loved relatives.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Agrace Hospice for their compassionate care. Especially nurse Payton and caregiver Kellie.
