Oh My Dear ‘Cookie’ as I called you, what a beautiful lady, inside and out. I just recently heard of your passing from a former Pinicon co-worker. I was 16 yrs. old when I was hired @ the Pinicon to work for Ed & Luella.I am 51 now. I started by helping my Mom, Dorothy in the Salad Dept, on 2nd shift. Helen & Leona were the 2 night cooks. Somehow, I was encouraged to train to cook. OMG, I was a Daddy’s Girl Tomboy, I didn’t cook. The 2 Gals, patiently & directly started training me and by God, I learned fast and was a good cook, with great timing. I inherited that from my Grandma Anna Vorwald. When Cookie and I worked, I did the grill/steak end and Cookie did the Fry end. Sometimes we’d get just swamped, people heard we were Fabulous cooks, good looking & modest too, Ha Ha! I’d tell her, it’ll be ok Cookie, we’ll take one at a time and go down the line, stay calm. She’d take a breath & say,’Alright Debra, as she always called me. We’d get the orders out, I’d smile and wink at her, she’d smile that sweet, beautiful smile back at me. I’d keep her calm, we’d be sweating bullets, hairnets, uniforms, aprons and all. I’d tell her what she needed to get out & ready, get her chicken in the fryer, we made a Fabulous team. We’d have large weddings and have to cut chickens up…Yikes. She was a wonderful cook at home as well. We helped her wallpaper and got a delicious roast beef dinner, great company too. She loved her Paul, sons, daughter and cherished all those Granbabies, the farm and her faith & marriage. After a busy night, Ed would buy us a drink & Cookie would have a Tom Collins and get giggly. Paul would have a 7/7, I believe. We exchanged Christmas cards, her family newsletters every year. I Loved the Stirms, Cookie & Paul, all the fond memories I will cherish. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I lost my Daddy 8/2012 & My Mommy3/2013, so I know the loss & sadness. God Bless. Deb(Debra), Vorwald/Morrison
That’s way the bestest aswenr so far!
Helen was such a kind and loving lady. She always enjoyed it when I brought the kids over at Halloween years ago. Our prayers will be with the family.
My deepest sympathy go out to your family during this time of sorrow. The death of a love one is very difficult. Therefore, I’d like to share scripture that may help. Please, read John 6:40, 44.
We would like to let you know we are thinking of all of you during this time. Ryan, Pat and I stopped by the farm over Memorial weekend to see how everyone was doing. We are very sorry we missed you. We asked one of the church members about you all and they said Helen was up in Rochester. Helen meant alot to us as well as the rest of your family. She will be very missed.
