Helen Marie Mickelsen, age 93, of Wichita, Kansas peacefully passed away surrounded by her daughters June 7, 2022. Helen was born on March 14th, 1929 in Kansas City, Kansas to Fred and Margaret Crowley. Helen grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, where she had three daughters. She then moved to Wichita, Kansas. 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. She always enjoyed taking care of her many grandkids throughout all the years. After Richard retired they moved to Branson, Missouri to enjoy a life of retirement and leisure. After 11 years in Branson they moved back to Wichita to be close to family and friends.

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. Helen also loved to walk around Towne West mall and her and Richard could be found there most days of the week after having lunch at Golden Corral.

She is preceded in death by her daughter Diana Meggison.
