Helaine Ann (Carlson) Ingeman, the daughter of Andrew and Ellen (Nordin) Carlson, was born September 4, 1922, in Tegner Township, Kittson County, Kennedy, Minnesota. She was baptized in September of 1922 and confirmed on September 13, 1936, at Maria Lutheran Church in Kennedy, Minnesota. She graduated from Kennedy High School.

Later she worked alongside her husband at their service station. Her primary focus, and most rewarding for her, was raising her children and caring for her family. Her faith was important to her, and she was a longtime member of Trinity Lutheran Church and involved in WELCA. In addition, Helaine was active in the community, volunteering her time and talents to Meeker County Hospital Auxiliary and the Grove City Area C.A.R.E. program. She loved to bake, read, and embroider. Helaine looked forward to a good bus trip and was willing to go anywhere anytime. Helaine is survived by her children, Ronnie Ingeman of Atwater, Sandra (Jerry) Jackson of Baraboo, WI, Jerry (Karen) Ingeman of Monticello, and Tim Ingeman of St. Cloud; eight grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; siblings, Clarence Carlson of Crookston and Franklin Carlson of Hallock; sister-in-law, Eunice Carlson of Racine, WI; and other loving relatives and friends.
