We regret to announce the passing of our beloved Mother/Omi on April 12 at the age of 94. She was born October 11, 1924 to August and Augusta Micheel in Berlin, Germany. She lived in Berlin through WWII, where living was extremely difficult, which is where she developed her strength. She met the love of her life, Helmut, when she was 22 years old. Soon he came to America with the dream of becoming a dentist and she soon followed. They were married over 65 years. Helmut set up his practice in the Chicago area where they lived a wonderful life together for many years. They retired to Las Vegas to be close to their daughter (and warm weather) where they lived for over 30 years. With Helmut’s passing less than 2 years ago, she really got lost in her dementia. She is survived by her daughter, Sigrid (Harry) and son Michael (Patti), along with 5 grandchildren Christopher (Melva), Christina (Judd), Daniel (Erin), Robert (Jessica), and Nicole (Derek), along with two great-grandchildren, Jenna and Dean. Services will be private.
