Helen Wein

Helen Wein, age 90, of St. John, IN went to be reunited with the Lord and her family on Monday, July 11, 2022. She was born on July 27, 1931 to the late Joseph T. and Margaret (Hasse) Wein. Helen has been a resident of St. John all of her life. She spent her entire life in the family farm house that she was born in.

She leaves behind seven loving nieces and nephews; Michael (Patti) Wein of Brentwood, TN, Debbie (Marty) Spannan of Lowell, IN, Julie (Russ) Bauer of Kouts, IN, Cindy (Rick) Raducha of Wheatfield, IN, Peggy (Dan) Spence of Danville, IN, Paulette (Jason) Cunningham of Lawton, MI, Nick (Stacey) Wein of Chesterton, IN, as well as numerous great-nieces and nephews.

Helen was a beautiful soul. For many years, she served on the St. John Historical Society and devoted much of her time to that. Her ancestors, the late John and Matilda Hack were the original settlers of St. John. She maintained the Hack Cemetery on 101st Avenue in St. John down from the family farm. She worked at Art Hill Ford for 42 years as an office manager and wore many hats throughout her time there. St. John the Evangelist Parish was her home church. She was very active when she was able to attend. Helen occupied her time making memories with her family and treating any and every animal with the same kindness and compassion she did to a friend, neighbor or stranger. Her infectious smile and zest for life will never be forgotten.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Margaret Wein; as well as her brothers, Joe, Paul (Joann) Wein, and John (Marie) Wein; her nephew, Jeff (Kristin); and great-niece, Emma Wein.

Family and friends may visit on Monday, July 18, 2022 from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 8178 Cline Avenue, Crown Point, IN 46307 in the Gregory Shapen Memorial Chapel.
