Helen was an active member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Seymour, where she served on numerous committees, and was also active in Bible studies during the span of her membership. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She enjoyed family get-togethers, helping her husband on the family farm, playing cards, and eating out with family and friends. Her kitchen was infamously known to be closed on Sundays. Helen was particularly proud of the Hoosier Homestead Sesquicentennial Award her family received for continuously owning the family farm for 150 years. She retired from Bullard’s Industrial Food Service, where she was employed as Secretary. She also worked part-time at G.C. Murphy’s Variety Store, and Excello Shirt Factory, and was a volunteer at the Trinity Resale Shop. Born on July 30, 1925, in Seymour, she was the daughter of George and Elizabeth (Aubke) Wischmeier, both of whom preceded her in death. On June 6, 1948, at St. John’s Lutheran Church, Sauers, she married Ivan Larue “Snowball” Wehmiller and he preceded her in death on October 28, 2012, after 64 years of marriage. Survivors include one daughter, Mary H. Wehmiller (Thomas) Garetson of Seymour; one son, Larry L. (Julie) Wehmiller of Brownstown; one sister, Edna (Alfred) Kellermeier of Seymour; two sisters-in-law: Donna Downing of Vallonia, and Jewell Wehmiller of Crothersville; two grandchildren: Crystal (Bryce) Purcell of Greenwood, and Lucas (Kara) Wehmiller of Seymour; one step grandchild, Jenika Liverpool of Plantation, Florida; three great-grandchildren: Paxton Purcell and Phinnley Purcell, both of Greenwood, and Letty Wehmiller of Seymour; and two step great-grandchildren: Madison Purcell of Terre Haute, and Kieva Liverpool of Plantation, Florida.
