Billings Gazette Billings, MT 17 Feb 2007 Helen (Ostwalt Foos) Southworth passed away at her home on Feb. 14, 2007, after spending a week of quality time with family and friends. Helen was born July 18, 1920, to Henry and Mollie (Thiel) Ostwalt, the second of 10 children. Helen met Henry Foos, Jr. at a dance and in November 1940, they were married. They had three children: Carolyn, Nancy and Henrietta. They farmed in Silesia, Laurel and Park City until Henry passed away in October 1958. Helen then moved to Laurel with her three daughters and worked for about 20 years as an Associate at J.C. Penney Co. In August 1963, Helen married Kenneth Southworth and was finally able to travel. They went to Mexico, Washington, Arizona and New Mexico. She also traveled to Anchorage, Alaska, which was a highlight for her. Kenny passed away in September 1994. During her last years, Helen enjoyed spending time with family, playing cards and doing crossword puzzles. She leaves behind her two loving daughters, Carolyn J. (Nick) Ritz and Nancy Goddard; six grandchildren, Teresa (Wes) Peltzer, Valarie (Bill) Giesick, Corday (Syd) Goddard, Anissa (David) Alan, Michael Ray (Marie) Underwood, Michelle (Jonathan) Smith; 10 great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren; four brothers, Harold (Almeda), John (Dorrothy), Conrad (Miriam) and Eugene (Diane); and four sisters, Martha (Harold) Iverson, Esther Fox, Betty (Melvin) Aman, and Judy (Clint) Frank; and many nieces and nephews. Helen was preceded in death by her parents; husbands Henry Foos, Jr. and Kenneth J. Southworth; her brother, Henry Ostwalt; a daughter, Henrietta Underwood; and a grandson, Rodney Haman.
