Helen was born in Edwardsport, in Knox County, Indiana on January 22, 1934. She was the daughter of the late Henry and Frieda (Albrecht) Spanger. Helen was raised and educated in Edwardsport, later moving to Attica in 1960. She has resided in Attica until her recent move to Lafayette.
Helen formerly worked at Radio Material Corp. in Attica and later in the Attica Elementary School Cafeteria. A devoted woman of faith, Helen worshiped her Lord and Savior at Attica Christian Church, where she actively served in various ministries.
Helen married Robert Edward Lee on April 10, 1954 in Westphala, IN. Robert proudly served in the U.S. Air Force. He preceded Helen in death on January 28, 2016.
Helen and Bob raised three children, Steve (Helen) Lee, North Judson, IN; Randy (Wendy) Lee, Lafayette and Jill (Bill) Rungaitis, Massillon, OH; She was a cherished grandmother to seven grandchildren, Christopher (Darcy) Lee, Tyler Lee, Rob (Mercedes) Lee, Casey Lee, Jessica (David) Deery, William (Teresa) Rungaitis and Kristen (Joshua) Brower; and a beloved great-grandmother to Ava, Evie, Liam, Henry, Emma, Declan and Sterling.

She was preceded in death by three sisters Elfrieda Fields, Dorothy Shake and Martha Hammelman along with her brother, Walter Spanger.
Helen found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved playing the card game 500 with family and friends, and was known for making jello pops for her grandchildren when they came to visit. Her grandchildren fondly remember visits to Crossroads and Wolf's candy store, and crossing Highway 41 for their favorite treat-an apple swirl ice cream cone.
Though we grieve her passing, we are comforted in knowing that she is now with her Heavenly Father. Truly, all is well with her soul.
