Obituary:
Helen Ann left us peacefully at Agrace HospiceCare in Fitchburg, on Monday, August 10, 2015, at age 94. Despite the limitations imposed on her by congestive heart failure, and deep loneliness after the loss of her husband of almost 60 years, John, over the past 10 years, she showed great courage, grace and love for her family in her final years.
Helen Ann (known as H.A. by John and close friends) was a graduate of Evansville High School in Evansville, WI and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. She was the only daughter of Salmer and Hattie (Haugen) Jordahl and sister of Duane, killed in WWII on Christmas Day, 1944.
Professionally, H.A. taught business education at Plymouth High School during the war and later at Shawano High School with John, following their marriage in 1945.
Some of her happiest moments were with John during winters in Gulf Shores, AL and with her family at reunions and holidays.
Helen Ann was raised Lutheran and became Catholic in order to allow her family to have a unified faith. She continually put her marriage first - moving her family to Neenah; Des Moines, IA, and Trumbull, CT and back to Neenah again as John advanced his career. Helen Ann was a long-time member of St. Margaret Mary Church, Neenah, and, with John, assisted in the St Joseph's Food Pantry for 10 Years. Helen Ann was greatly loved and will be dearly missed. She was a beautiful woman of clear faith and straightforward wisdom.
Her family was her heart and soul, including 4 sons: Tom (Leslie), Milwaukee; Jack (Paula), Cedar Falls, IA; Jim (Mary), Middleton; Bill (Theresa), New Hartford, CT; 7 grandchildren:Libby, Emily (Charles) Durant, Jay, Jason (Rami), Nicole (Chris) Novak, Cindy (Jessica), and Dan; 3 great grandchildren: Blake, Greta and Lainey; many other relatives and friends.
In addition to her parents, husband, and brother, Helen was further preceded in death by a grandson: Christopher.
The funeral liturgy will be at 2:00 p.m., Thursday, August 20, 2015, at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, 620 Division St. Neenah, with Fr. Michael Ingold Officiating. Interment will be in Resthaven Cemetery, Menasha. Visitation will be held on Thursday at the church from 1:00 p.m. until the 1:45 p.m.
Memorial donations may be made to St. Joseph Food Program, 1465A Opportunity Way, Menasha, WI 54952.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratefulness to the special people at Brookdale Senior Living/Sterling House of Middleton who cared and loved her these final 6 years and for the holy work of the staff at Agrace Hospice & Palliative Care.

Helen married Bachhuber, John Martin 24 Sep 1945. John (son of Bachhuber, Emeron Benedict and Haertle, Anna Maria) was born 22 Oct 1921, Mayville, Dodge, Wisconsin, USA; died 22 Aug 2005, Neenah, Winnebago, Wisconsin, USA; was buried , Resthaven Cemetery, Menasha, Winnebago, Wisconsin.
