Helen (Ostwalt Foos) Southworth
Remembrances

Helen (Ostwalt Foos) Southworth passed away at her home on February 14, 2007, after spending a week of quality time with family and friends. Helen was born July 18, 1920 to Henry and Mollie (Thiel) Ostwalt, the second of ten children.

Helen met Henry Foos, Jr. at a dance and in November 1940 they were married. They had 3 children: Carolyn, Nancy and Henrietta. They farmed in Silesia, Laurel and Park City until Henry passed away in October 1958. Helen then moved to Laurel with her three daughters and worked for about 20 years as an Associate at J. C. Penney Co.

In August 1963 Helen married Kenneth Southworth and was finally able to travel. They went to Mexico, Washington, Arizona and New Mexico. She also traveled to Anchorage, Alaska, which was a highlight for her. Kenny passed away in September 1994.

During her last years, Helen enjoyed spending time with family, playing cards, and doing crossword puzzles. She leaves behind her two loving daughters Carolyn J. (Nick) Ritz and Nancy Goddard; 6 grandchildren: Teresa (Wes) Peltzer, Valarie (Bill) Giesick, Corday (Syd) Goddard, Anissa (David) Alan, Michael Ray (Marie) Underwood, Michelle (Jonathan) Smith; 10 great grandchildren, 3 great-great grandchildren; 4 brothers: Harold (Almeda), John (Dorrothy), Conrad (Miriam) and Eugene (Diane); and 4 sisters: Martha (Harold) Iverson, Esther Fox, Betty (Melvin) Aman, and Judy (Clint) Frank; and may nieces and nephews.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents; husbands Henry Foos, Jr. and Kenneth J. Southworth; her brother Henry Ostwalt; a daughter, Henrietta Underwood; and a grandson, Rodney Haman.

The family wishes to give a special thank you to Helen's "girls" at Nightingale Services, with an extra special thank you to Brittany. We also thank Lynn and Chris of Rocky Mountain Hospice for the loving and tender care given to our mother, grandmother and sister.

Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 A.M., on Monday, Feb. 19, at Evangelical United Methodist Church, 345 Broadwater Ave. The casket will be open and the family will be receiving guests from 5-7 P.M., on Sunday at Michelotti-Sawyers.

Memorials may be made to Rocky Mountain Hospice, 2110 Overland Ave. Suite 111, Billings, MT 59102.
