Helen Christina was born August 30, 1919 to her parents Clyde and Bertha (Lampert) Osborn at the family farm southwest of Battle Creek.  She attended rural school and Battle Creek High School, graduating in 1937.  She married Derrel Reeves on February 4, 1945.  They farmed south of Norfolk until they moved to Norfolk in 1987.  Helen worked retail for over 30 years.  She worked faithfully at her church for many years with the Braille program and she was always willing to help out as needed.

Helen is survived by her two daughters Suzanne (Tony) Muscari and Sandra (Mical) Zobel, a dedicated niece Linda Axford, grandchildren Todd (Vicki) Muscari, Kelly (Ted) Barnickel, Misty (Bryan) Morton, Katie (Corey) Frederick, and Jessica (Jay) Bartek, great grandchildren Tanner, Gabrielle, Emma, Elizabeth, Patrick, Abby, Taya, and Tytan, sisters Marjorie Bierman, Ruth Bierman, and Betty Walmsley, and numerous other nieces and nephews who loved her dearly. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, three brothers Glen, Jack, and Kenneth, and three sisters Fern, LoGene, and Mary.

Helen was a good and faithful servant of the Lord.  She touched the lives of everyone she met.  As Helen told us all “Until we meet again.”

Helen would love to have memorials and donations directed to Christ Lutheran School.
