In Wichita is where she met and married Richard Mickelsen. Helen and Richard had two more daughters and Wichita is where they raised their big family.

Helen and Richard spent 62 wonderful years together. Helen held several part time jobs outside the home, but her most important and favorite job was being a homemaker.

One of Helen's favorite things to do was to go to church with family then going out to eat afterwards. Sometimes she would keep talking to try and get you to stay longer.
