Helga was a much loved member of the Uniting Church in Leongatha. We loved her. She was very generous to children and followed their participation in sport closely.

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

Thank you Helga for your example of faith.

So sorry to hear of Helga’s passing,condolences to her family. Fondly remembered. Sandra & Gary Burns❤️❤️

Many happy memories of playing golf with Helga. She loved her golf and was a keen competitor. Sincere sympathy to all the family who will all miss her greatly but be thankful that she has been here. Kind regards Lois Young.

To Helga’s family from the Dowel family our deepest Sympathy to you all. We have long memories of the Iwanowski family the family lived in a house on our property when they arrived in Australia . They were all a loving family (and yes we did have fun with the language at first ) They were hard workers and always wanting to give you more than you could give them .
Love and a big hug to you all ❤️💖❤️

Deepest Sympathy to all of Helga’s family. Helga worked and lived with us at the Hotel from the age of fourteen she had just come to Australia and didn’t speak a word of English, she soon became one of the family always happy and smiling. She has left us all with wonderful memories. RIP Helga 💜

A wonderful lady with a generous heart. Time spent with Auntie Helga will always be remembered with great affection. She will be missed.

Aunty Helga, a positive, generous, and sweet-natured woman, always looked for the best in everyone and every situation. Her bright blue eyes and huge smile lit up the room, and she always insisted that you needed to eat something she had made or at least have a cuppa with her. I loved spending time in her cozy kitchen, which had undergone a transformation over the years from having a blazing hot wood-burning stove to a conventional stove and microwave. No matter how many guests were in her home, there was always enough good, wholesome food to share, and a place for you at her table. Aunty Helga truly embodied the Christian spirit of generosity, service, and kindness.

On the other hand, Aunty Helga was also quite competitive. Whether it was playing cards with her sisters and brothers or competing in the local women’s golf league, she was always up for a challenge. The only time I played 9 holes with her and her kids at Leongatha Golf Course one summer, I was too young to appreciate that she was an accomplished player. However, having taken up golf later in my own life, I continue to be inspired by Aunty Helga both on and off the golf course.

Love you and miss you,
