Helga was a resident of Sun City West, Arizona, though she was born in Fürth, Germany on February 10, 1939. She went on to attend schools in both New Jersey and New York, and received numerous certificates in massage therapy; the career she proudly maintained in life.
Helga was married to Hans Ottenberg on July 13, 1957, in Fürth, Germany. Hans worked in construction during their time together, and he precedes Helga in passing.
Helga's passions revolved around, singing, dancing, yodeling, and overall living life to her fullest! She was also a member of a German club, where she enjoyed staying connected to her roots and heritage.
Helga is survived by her daughters; Petra Ottenberg and Kim Ottenberg, as well as her beloved grand cats.
She was truly a one-of-a-kind woman who left her mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving her. She will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to be touched by her lively spirit, joyful heart, and love of life.
