Helen Mae Leibl (nee Julseth), age 88, of Cedarburg, WI, passed away on February 6, 2015 after a long illness. She was born on May 12, 1926 in Evansville, WI, the daughter of Edward and Emma (Haakenson) Julseth. Helen graduated from Evansville High School in 1943 and from Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing in Chicago as an RN in 1947. She also attended UW-Milwaukee. Preceding her in death were her parents, her husband Frank, sister Esther (Chris) Fuglestad, Marian (Lester) Bratzke, brothers Allan, Edwin, Lester, and Glen (Barbara) Julseth.

To know Helen was to love her. She was a special woman - a friend to everyone, always present with a kind smile and a listening ear. Helen was always game for adventure and fun, even in her senior years. She was selfless, generous, accepting of all, and gave her love unconditionally. Above all, she was a loving and wonderful mother and proud grandmother. Her kindness, caring and gentle nature, cheerful disposition, and amazing strength inspire us all. Her light will keep shining through all the lives she touched.
