HELEN P. FEIT
(1913 - 2008)
Helen P. Feit, age 94, who resided with her daughter and son-in-law, Jean and Arnold Dewey, Two Rivers, formerly of Manitowoc, entered eternal life on Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2008, at her daughter's residence.
Helen was born on Jan. 11, 1913, in the town of Kossuth, Manitowoc County. She was the daughter of the late Charles and Mary (Heran) Swetlik. Helen attended grade school at the Kossuth Joint District 1, graduated from Lincoln High School, Manitowoc, with the class of 1930, and then continued her education at the Manitowoc Teacher College, graduating with the class of 1931. On April 20, 1932, she married Louis W. Feit at St. Boniface Catholic Church, Manitowoc. He preceded her in death on March 13, 1995. During World War II, Helen joined the American Red Cross Nursing Aide Corps, serving at Holy Family Hospital from 1942 to 1946. She maintained a foster home with her husband for 29 years, during which time they cared for 45 foster children. Helen was a 4-H leader in Manitowoc County for 26 years, also serving on the board of directors for the 4-H Leaders Association. She was active in the development of 4-H Camp Tapawingo. With her husband Louis, they developed the camp arboretum, reaching their goal of having every State of the Union represented by a tree. The last tree, a red maple, was approved by Nancy Reagan to represent the United States. For a period of 8 years, Helen was a cook at Camp Tapawingo. She also was a Home Health Aide for family service for 12 years. Helen was a long-time member of the former Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Catholic Women's Club, Manitowoc Senior Center and had volunteered at St. Vincent De Paul Society. Helen currently was a member of St. Francis of Assisi. In recognition for her ability and service to community and state, Helen was entered in the 1972 edition of the "Personalities of the West and Midwest." She enjoyed working with young people and nature projects, especially birds, animals and plants. Her pastime was spent by crocheting and knitting, sharing her many articles with family and friends.
She is survived by one son and daughter-in-law: Richard and Ruth Klopfer, St. Charles, Mo.; three daughters and sons-in-law: Bonnie and Dave Wilhelm, Wisconsin Rapids; Jean and Arnold Dewey, Two Rivers; and Diane and Conrad Hrdina, Two Rivers; 16 grandchildren: Tod Feit; Terri Zayat; Traci Caceris; Doug Dewey; Barb Mixa; Kay Parker; Corri Meinert; Stephani Afshari; Penelope Feit; Donald Feit; Erin Hill; Tina Palarski; Dan Alldredge; Pam Broom; Cara Laney; and Carrie Hrdina; and 22 great-grandchildren. Nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends also survive. She was preceded in death by her husband: Louis; three sons: Donald and Robert Feit; and Keith Fritschka; two brothers: Charles and Ludwig Swetlik; three sisters: Camilla Chaloupka; Mildred Duchon; and Sylvia Swoboda.
Funeral services will be held 10 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12, 2008, at St. Francis of Assisi on Waldo. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by the Rev. Gerald Foley, with burial to take place at Knollwood Cemetery.
