Life story

"Patricia Helmlinger, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, passed away peacefully on Mother’s Day, surrounded by the love of her family.



Patricia was married to the love of her life, Charlie Helmlinger, for 60 beautiful years. Their bond was a true testament to lasting love and partnership — she loved Charlie more than anything, and together they built a life full of joy, strength, and devotion.



She was a proud and loving mother to her two children, Jason and his wife Mandy, and Michelle and her husband Brad. She was also a deeply cherished grandmother to seven grandchildren: Caleb, Alannah, Kameron, Jacob, Makenna, Faith, and Mia. Patricia’s heart grew even fuller with the arrival of her great-granddaughter, Maisy, whom she adored.

She was a loving aunt to Stephen, and to Kristie and her husband Ricky, and a devoted great-aunt to Christian, Madison, and Grace—showing them unwavering love in honor of her late sister. Patricia also leaves behind her sister Janet and Janet’s husband, Mick. Her family was her greatest joy, and she loved each of them dearly.



Born in England, Patricia never lost touch with her roots. She looked forward to her monthly gatherings at her British club, where she celebrated her heritage and formed lasting friendships. A woman of routine and resilience, Patricia went to the gym every day with a close-knit group of friends, embodying strength, discipline, and community.



Her Christian faith was central to her life, providing her with grace, compassion, and a deep sense of peace.



Patricia Helmlinger’s legacy is one of love, loyalty, and an unshakable dedication to family. She will be profoundly missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.
