Helen Carolyn (Loseke) Matson, was born March 24, 1922, on a farm near Leigh, in Platte County to Otto and Mathilda (Lueschen) Loseke.
She was baptized and confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Leigh and attended school in Platte County and at Leigh schools.
On Aug. 25, 1949, she was united in marriage to Elton Matson at Norfolk. They made their home on a farm south of Newman Grove. She moved into Newman Grove in 1984.
Helen was a wonderful homemaker and enjoyed going on trips. The most memorable trip was when she and her sister spent a month in Germany. They visited with distant relatives and did genealogy research. She also enjoyed going to places such as Worlds of Fun, Yellowstone National Park, Mall of America and other shorter excursions with her family.
Helen is survived by sons Robert (Donna) Matson of Monroe and Donald (Nancy) Matson of Lincoln; a daughter, Yvonne (Rodney) Julsen of Newman Grove; seven grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and nine step-great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, two daughters, one son, one granddaughter, five sisters and four brothers.
Helen will be remembered as loving and kind, with an inner strength to persevere through some of life’s most difficult events. She will also be remembered for the sense of humor that still keeps us smiling. Helen will be greatly missed.
