Helen Marie Brooks was born on June 7, 1930 to Fred Otto and Tenie Opal (Moler) Ehler on a farm northwest of Dresden, KS.

Helen was raised in the Dresden area and attended grade school in Dresden and then later high school in Oberlin.

Throughout her life she liked being outside. She had a great love for her family, cats, and some of her favorite things to do were to hang laundry on her clothesline and watch the birds in her backyard. She was a kind, loving, and generous lady whose door was always open to family and friends.

She worked several jobs in her life, most of all as a secretary for Oberlin Service Center, retiring after 28 years there.

She was affectionately known as “Moe” to her family and to several at the Good Samaritan in Oberlin, where she resided her last 2 ½ years.

She met her Lord and Savior and entered into heaven on March 30, 2024 at the age of 93.

Helen leaves to celebrate her life and cherish her memory her daughters: Sharon Black, Betty Heisel, Vicky (Vivan) Heisel; grandchildren: Kevin (Tami) Black, Shelby (Brad) Uehlin, Darci (Brice) Meitl, Gena Woodward, Gavin (Jodi) Heisel, along with many great and great great grandchildren, relatives and friends.

She was greeted in Heaven by her parents, son-in-law, Ron Black and granddaughter, Carlyn Black.
