							Obituary  
							 
							Helen Conrady, 63, of Elkhart passed 
							away on Friday, September 20, 2019 in her home, 
							surrounded by her loving family.
 Helen was born on September 26, 1955 in 
							Jacksonville, NC, the daughter of Jack and Connie (Kudlinski) 
							Crosier. She married Howard Conrady on November 29, 
							1997 in Lincoln. He survives.
 
 Helen is also survived by her father; her son, 
							Stanley (Jamie) Crosier of Moulton, AL; her 
							stepdaughters, Traci (Eric) Graue of Lincoln, and 
							Ashley (Dirk) Aper of Hartsburg; her sisters, Kathy 
							Workman of Huntsville, AL, and Patti (Tom) Lyon of 
							Lacey’s Spring, AL; her 12 grandchildren: Christian, 
							Ivy, Ronin, Willow, Lauren, Andrew, Parker, Carson, 
							Avery, Nora, Devin, and Rylan. Additionally, she is 
							survived by her faithful companion, Rambo.
 
 Helen was preceded in death by her mother, and her 
							stepdaughter, Michelle Conrady-Brown.
 
 To know Helen was to know an instant friend. She was 
							a caretaker, a defender, and a cheerleader. 
							Throughout her career as a labor and delivery nurse 
							she supported numerous women and families at their 
							most vulnerable times as they fought to bring life 
							into the world. Helen found the good in all people. 
							It didn’t matter what path they had been down or 
							what decisions had been made. She had open arms and 
							a full heart of compassion.

							To know Helen was to know that more 
							than anything, she adored her family and dearest 
							friends. To them, she was the constant that would 
							always pick up the phone and listen intently. Helen 
							enjoyed the simple things in life. She found joy and 
							fulfillment when crocheting a gift for someone, 
							fishing with her husband, being outside, or watching 
							old western movies.
 A memorial service for Helen will be held at 10:00 
							a.m. on Friday, September 27, 2019 at Faith Lutheran 
							Church in Lincoln. Visitation will take place from 
							4:00-7:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 26, 2019 also 
							at the church.
 
 Memorial donations may be made in Helen’s name to 
							Faith Lutheran Church in Lincoln.
 
 Services have been entrusted to 
							Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home, Lincoln.
