Helen Selma Borchardt

Helen S. Borchardt (nee: Oesau, Heuer) born November 4, 1934 to the late Selma and Jacob Oesau. Helen received her official Angel status on December 17, 2023. She is preceded in death by her adoring husband, James "Jim" Borchardt Sr., her daughter, Diana LHeuer, and siblings: Ed "Sonny" Oesau, Orv Oesau, Margaret "Toots" Brouwers, Lucy Brandt and Kathy Petrusich. She is survived by her loving daughters and sons-in-law: Luann and Dennis Burdick and Candy and Jay Borchardt, and her sister, Irma Clope, who was also her best friend. Helen was the matriarch of her family and always had open arms, food on the table and a game of Yahtzee ready to play.

Her grandchildren: Sheree (Doug), Lisa, Shaun, Lynn (Mark), Leah, Congetta, Alexx and Joshua, were always the joy of her life. She was overjoyed to be promoted to "G.G." for her great-grandchildren: Jason, Marisa, Leo, Audie, Lynnisa, Kayla, Sutton, Brynn, Giulianna, Olin, Jacob, Raegan, Analiese, Sterling and Malaya.  She meant the world to her family and will be forever missed.

Helen's family would like to express immense gratitude to our dear friends, Nancy Barda and Gladys Borchardt; the incredible, caring staff at Pine Brook Pointe Assisted Living and the Aurora Hospice Care Team.

Graveside services will be held at 11:00 a.m. at Good Hope Cemetery, 4141 S.43rd St., Greenfield, WI 53220.
