She was born June 7, 1927 in Aurora, IL, the daughter of Morris J. and Helen (Martin) Gordon.Helen grew up on the Gordon family farm, graduated from Sugar Grove High School and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Aurora University.Helen worked briefly at several local businesses, including a gas station, and soon became employed at PAG (Pfister Associated Growers), an Aurora seed corn company with offices on West Galena. There she met Charles W. Ogle and they were wed on September 25, 1955 at the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church. Living briefly near the P.A.G. office, they soon moved into a farm house near Sugar Grove. In 1975, they moved to the Gordon family farm homestead on Prairie Street, where they lived the rest of their lives.Helen was an active member of the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church where the touch of her hands and heart can be chronicled across the years in countless ways. She had a fondness for children and kept the "cradle roll" for the church, welcoming new children and remembering their birthdays each year as they progressed toward Sunday School. There, they would meet Helen as Secretary of the Sunday School and the keeper of attendance records that would earn them honor pins as the years passed. Visitors to the church office would find Helen, then church secretary, busy preparing the bulletin, the announcement boards, changing the altar cloths and tending to dozens of unseen details. In 1969, she was honored as "Outstanding Mother of the Year" by the Sugar Grove United Methodist Men's Group.Through the years, she taught her children and grandchildren the joy of service in this labor of love. A woman who lived her faith through her works, Helen was also a Brownie Troop Leader, secretary of the Sugar Grove Farmers Club, served her community as a Sugar Grove Township Trustee, president of the Sugar Grove Historical Society, Community Care Team Volunteer, a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and the United Methodist Women. Always welcoming, Helen had a knack for making newcomers feel at home. Whether at church, the Farmers Market, the Corn Boil or any community gathering, she connected the new with the old and made both feel welcome.At home on the farm, Helen always valued life whether human or animal. Orphan kittens, baby chicks and "ugly ducklings" of every kind were given a place in her lap, a warm spot in the kitchen and in Helen's heart. She had a gift for healing every kind of hurt and a way of teaching life-lessons as she shared life's burdens along the way. Through the years she cared selflessly for her husband, Charles and various ill and elderly relatives.She is survived by two children, Bonnie L. Ogle (Paul St. John) of Montgomery, and their family, Kate, Eleanor and Charlotte, William G. (Stephanie) Ogle of Oswego and their son, Stephen; one sister, Mary Sohan of Maple Park; one brother, Mark (Debbie) Gordon of St. Charles, IL; and many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews.She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles; her parents; two brothers, one in infancy and one in childhood; and one brother-in-law.Visitation Sunday, December 4th, from 1-4 PM at Conley Funeral Home, 116 W.

In the background is the south side of Keck's Store and to the far right is the corner of a building that Groff would one day own and become his home and workshop. Groff was a distinguished Sugar Grover, citizen, churchman, an industrious, mechanical genius, and father of Clif, Nancy, Dave and Steve. ~ Rick Johnson 2016 Our ancestors came from Switzerland in the 1740's. They were Menonite and settled in Penn. It was not uncommon to incorporate maiden names of spouses when naming babies when they were born. My Grandfather's name was also Clare Groff Frantz. My Great Grandmother's last name was Groff. It's funny though, my Great Grandfather's name was Benjamin Franklin Frantz, but we couldn't find any record of kite fliers in the family. To bad it would have been a great story. ~ Dave Frantz 2016 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lisa Subject The topic of the resource Frantz Family Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2010 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Sugar Grove Historical Society Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Obituary Text Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Frantz Family Type The nature or genre of the resource Obituary Text 2010 Frantz Family Obituary https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/7aa3347095ef69f2c4cbf5aefae734bc.jpg 1069a27b77b8a63497454eb2132e02ea Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
