She was born one of eight siblings on Aug. 19, 1918, at Bourbon, the daughter of Ralph and Bessie Ames Hanes. She attended Bourbon High School and met the love of her life during the school bus ride. She later married Mark Neidigh on June 7, 1935, and they shared over 70 years of marriage before his passing on April 15, 2005. Helen was a homemaker most of her life and enjoyed knitting and her family. She did work for the Armstrong Dime Store and the Dairy Queen of Bourbon.
Helen was a member of the Order of Eastern Star and a Rainbow Mother advisor and was past president of the Bourbon Monday Club. Helen was a very faithful member of Bourbon First United Methodist Church.
Helen will be missed by her children: Connie Kuntz, of Bremen; Kay (Randy) Anglin, of St. Louis (Farmington), Mo.; and Gene (Susanne) Neidigh, of West Lafayette.

Helen was preceded in death by her husband, Mark; a son, Jay Allen; and her sisters: Barbara Rogers, Carol Hunt, Marty Rusher, Dorothy Swank and Maxine Hayes.
The family will receive friends Saturday, April 2 from 3 to 4 p.m. at Deaton-Clemens Funeral Home, 115 S. Main St., Bourbon. Funeral services will follow at 4 p.m. Helen will be buried later with her husband at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Bourbon.
