Giese, Helen L. (Morse) (25 APR 1934 - 19 JUL 2018)
Helen L. Giese, age 84, died Thursday, July 19, 2018, surrounded by her family.
She was born April 25, 1934, in Athens, the daughter of the late Sanford and
Eula (Wisner) Morse. On Dec. 15, 1953, she married Thomas Giese. He survives.
Helen’s greatest joy was time spent with family and enjoying a meal with a
pretty set table. Helen enjoyed cooking, canning and quilting. She was very
active in her community with her church and card clubs. She loved spending time
with her husband, bus trips, traveling to Las Vegas, taking an occasional trip
to the casino and catching up with family and friends on Facebook.
Survivors include her husband of 64-1/2 years, Tom Giese; children, Mary Jo and
Peter Vander Grinten, Mark and Michele Giese, Lori and Mark Dougherty and Rick
and Steph Giese; grandchildren, Jon Vander Grinten, Sara (Ryan) Goerlitz, Will
Dougherty, Riley Dougherty, Ben Giese and Stacey Giese; great-grandchildren,
Avie and Jonah Goerlitz; sisters, Nancy Albrecht, Audrey (Harold) Pruss, Alberta
(Wayne) Walker and Sally (Lamont) Meinen; sisters-in-law, Nancy Streich and
Jackie Bergmann; brother-in-law, Ed (Marge) Giese; and numerous nieces and
nephews.
Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother and sister-in-law,
Sanford Jr. and Judy Morse; and a brother-in-law, Earl Albrecht.
A funeral service was held at 11 a.m. Monday, July 23, 2018, at Christ United
Church, Athens. Rev. Teri Hanson presided. Burial was in Athens Village
Cemetery, Athens. Visitation was held on Sunday, July 22, 2018, from 4 p.m.
until 7 p.m. at Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, Athens, and again on Monday from
10 a.m. until the time of service at Christ United Church, Athens.
The family wishes to extend their sincere appreciation to the staffs at Aster
Retirement Community and Heartland Hospice for their kind, compassionate care of
Helen.
