Helen E. Wichert

Helen E. Wichert, age 81, of Bay Port, died Wednesday afternoon, August 14, at Scheurer Hospital, Pigeon from a ruptured aneurysm.
She was born May 15, 1921, in Chandler Twp. at the home of her parents, the late Thomas and Elizabeth (Nelson) Farver.
On June 26, 1953, she was united in marriage to Alford Wichert at the Elkton Methodist Church.
Helen lived in Huron County all her life. She was a life long member of the Elkton United Methodist Church and was a devoted wife and mother.
Helen was a very aggressive genealogist; she traced the family trees of not only her family and her husband’s, but many of the Chandler Twp. neighbors. If you wanted to know who was who from home, Helen could tell you. She would also pass the time by knitting and crocheting many beautiful things.
Surviving are her husband, Alford; two sons, Thomas of Elkton and James (Bev) of Sandusky; six grandchildren, Heather, Terry, Chris, Zach, Ashley and Elizabeth and two great grandchildren, Elyse and Sydney. Also surviving are three brothers, Floyd Farver and Henry (Marguerite) Farver all of Elkton, and Cliff (Mary) Farver of Oak Beach; three sisters, Flossie Maynard of Pinnebog, Ulla Snider of Elkton and Luella Connors of Filion; and a sister-in-law, Lena Wichert of Pigeon.
Preceding her in death were three sisters, Bertha Gilbert, Bessie Furness and Lila Wilson.
Funeral services will be conducted 11:00 AM Saturday, August 17, at the Elkton United Methodist Church. Rev. William Wright will officiate with burial in Riverside Cemetery, Elkton.
Friends may call from 7 to 9 Thursday, 2 to 9 Friday at the Champagne Funeral Chapel, Elkton.
