Helen L. Richmiller
February 22, 1911 — March 19, 2007
Now safe in the arms of God, Helen L. Richmiller, 96, of Silvis left this world Monday, March 19, 2007 at Trinity West Hospital with her family at her side.
Rite of Christian Burial will be 10a.m. Friday, March 23, 2007 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Moline, where she was a member. Prayers will be said at 9a.m. at Esterdahl Mortuary & Crematory, Ltd., 6601-38th Ave, Moline. Visitation will be Thursday from 4-7 p.m. with a rosary recited at 4 p.m. at the funeral home. Burial will be in St. Mary's Cemetery, East Moline. Memorials may be made to her family or for a mass to be said in her name.
Helen was born February 22, 1911 in Moline to Peter F. and Emma Hendricks Cobert. She married Carl F. Richmiller on January 20, 1932 in Sacred Heart Church in Moline. He preceded her in death.
Helen worked at the former Moline Public Hospital but found her natural calling as the head salad and dessert chef at the LeClaire Hotel Top Hat and the former Moline Elk's Club. But her most memorable job was working for F.W. Woolworth when she was 16 years old and being fired for leaving her job without approval and walking from downtown Moline to the Moline airport to see Charles Lindberg.
She is survived by her children and spouses:
Don (Elsa) Richmiller Moline
Carlene Daligee Henderson, NV
Linda (Jim) Thompson Coal Valley
Joe (Janie) Richmiller Grand Mound, IA
M. Janie (Ron) Dennhardt Moline
Helen Schubert Moline.
