(Nee BABIASZ) Passed into Eternal Life on Saturday, March 31, 2018. Age 92. Wife of the late Williard Jacobs. Mother of Jacqueline (Tom Lueders) Jacobs and Lori (William) Eilers. Aunt of James (Pam) Babisz, Robert (Ursula) Babiasz, Kathy (Rick) Sarauer, Judy Babiasz, Carl (Susan) Babiasz, Barbara Nisbit, Bruce Babiasz, and Brian (Jeanne) Babiasz.  Also loved by other relatives and friends.

Born in Milwaukee, Helen also lived in Grafton and Muskego. She met Willard Jacobs and they were married June 12, 1948. Together they had two daughters, Jackie and Lori. Helen’s past occupations include being a housewife, office worker, and entrepreneur. Helen had a number of unusual jobs. She joined her husband’s magic act as his “sparkling assistant” and later as the clown, “Razzle Dazzle.” She holds a Clown degree from Concordia College.

Helen always enjoyed being involved in groups and has been a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, the Red Hats Society, as well as an active member of her local senior meal site group in Muskego. Helen also ran a successful Christmas Eve Santa Claus service sharing Christmas Eve with some families for so many years they watched the children grow up.

Helen loved all forms of music and played first chair saxophone in Custer High School’s band and orchestra.

After retirement, Helen became the “Pet Granny” opening the family home to dogs and cats whose owners wanted a stress free, more comfortable place for their pets to stay than a kennel. Helen made sure that each “guest pet” felt like a member of her family and enjoyed their own vacation while their owners were away.

Helen especially loved Catrina, her pure white cat, who now lives with her daughter, Jackie.

Helen was one of the first ladies to make Rose Brzycki welcomed at Linden Grove New Berlin. She always made sure Rose knew about the activities for the day. Helen always had a beautiful smile and kind word. We lost Rose Feb 27th, so we do know what your family is going through at this time. May memories of Helen bring you comfort and peace.
Mr. and Mrs. Michael DeMoss left a message on April 5, 2018:
Our Mother and Mother-in-Law, Dorothy DeMoss, became a dear friend of Helen’s at Lindergrove iin New Berlin. Helen was a very special lady and especially treasured by all who knew her. She brought so much life and happiness to those who were her friends and she will be truly missed by them. She was a joy to know, and our family is very saddened by her loss. You have our sincerest sympathies.

Aunt Helen, you were the life of the party! Between you and Uncle Willard, we could always be assured of having smiles on our faces. The times at your cottage on Freeze Lake and the pool parties in Grafton...those are the things that I will always cherish. Jackie & Lori, when we got together with you and your beloved mother and father, it was one of the true, dear, and happy times we had within our family relationship. Both your mother and father always took the time and went out of their way to include us in your family life...the theme dinners, getting together for the holidays, attending Hobo dinners, and taking me golfing are times I will always remember. Aunt Helen, Rest in peace with God our Father. Jackie & Lori, May the LORD be with you during this difficult time. Respectfully, Your loving nephew & cousin, Carl
