Helen E. Langenbach, age 92, passed away peacefully in her sleep at Aspen Gardens, in Helena, Montana on November 30, 2015.
She was born June 29, 1923, in Helena, to John B. Ring and Louise (Geogelein) Ring. Helen attended grade school and high school in Helena. After graduating, she briefly left Helena to work for the Navy Department in Seattle, during WWII. After returning to Helena, she worked at the finance office at Ft. Harrison, several state offices, and the Helena School District.
She married the love of her life, Harold C. Langenbach on December 27, 1946. They always used to joke about it being a cold day in Helena when they were married; -27 degrees to be exact. In 1996 they celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on a Caribbean Cruise with their daughter and son.
Helen was preceded in death by her husband Harold, in 2001. She is survived by her daughter, Vicky L. Forester, of Las Vegas, her son, Gary R. Langenbach, of Seattle, and brother-in-law, Robert G. Langenbach of Helena. Cremation has taken place, and at her request there will be no services.

I have no doubt that God will remember her and keep her memory safe. He will surely be glad to bring her back to life in a perfect world when suffering will be no more and we will all welcome back our loved ones that are asleep in death. (Revelation 21:4 & John 5:28, 29) May our loving Father bring your family the peace and comfort only He can provide.

Helen was always cheerful and friendly, I will miss her. She taught me several important lessons:
– from that beautiful sand box full of white sand: you are not going to make it to china, so you have to stop when you get to the black dirt!
– the coffee grounds among the flowers, help the flowers by helping the worms.
– and most important: if you go easy on that refrigerator door it will last a long time.
