- "Helen E. (Sass) Braesch was born February 27, 1936, in Omaha, Nebraska to William and Lora (Frost) Sass. Helen was both baptized and confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church in Bennington, Nebraska. She attended schools in Elkhorn and graduated from Elkhorn High School in 1953.
Helen married Duane Braesch on January 16, 1954, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Bennington, and they were blessed with five children: Vicky, Jackie, Julie, Dan, and Lori. Helen and Duane lived in Bennington before moving to a farm north of Bennington, where Helen has been for the past 50 years. Duane preceded Helen in death in August 2015.
Helen worked as a bookkeeper for various Bennington businesses throughout the years and drove the school bus for Bennington Public Schools for nearly 20 years, but most of all, Helen was just mom. She enjoyed getting together with the Girlie Club and the Women's Club in Bennington, and she gave back by teaching Sunday School and helping with funeral lunches at St. John's.
Helen will be remembered as a fun, conservative, easy-going woman. She was a survivor from an early age; dealing with polio as a young girl and was extremely selfless; often sacrificing of herself for the good of all others. She enjoyed baking cookies, and never said no to a trip to the casino. She liked Chinese food and was always ready for a good cup of coffee and good conversation. She was a good sport, and was always up for anything, but most of all, Helen cherished her grandkids and great grandkids." (gengivet i Findagrave.com)
