She suffered a severe stroke on Oct 5th at home, was treated at Mountain View Regional Medical Center and never recovered from the effects of the stroke. Helen was the daughter of Paul E. A. Bohn and H. Frances Weikel Bohn and came into this world on May 13, 1936 in Ft Wayne, IN. She was educated in that city and graduated from South Side High School in the spring of 1954. She selected Bowling Green State Univ. (BGSU) in Bowling Green, Ohio to pursue a degree in business. During the Orientation Week at the college she met a young student on the steps of the freshman women’s dormitory, Shatzel Hall. That young man, Roger L. Sellers, became her husband, after she was pinned with his Sigma Chi badge, and was later engaged to be married. She left Bowling Green following her sophomore year. While attending Bowling Green she became a member of the Alphi Phi sorority and seren!! aded by the Sigma Chi brothers in the spring of 1956 when she decided to accept work in the accounting department of General Electric in Erie, PA and live with her parents. Her father, Paul, was one of very few men to work for GE for 50 years. Roger spent many hours on the highways visiting Erie about twice a month for two years. Roger graduated from Bowling Green in June of 1954 and was commissioned as a 2nd Lt, regular Army. They were married, one week earlier, in downtown Ft Wayne, IN at Trinity English Evangelical Lutheran Church on May 31, 1958. This was her home church where she received her religious education and confirmation. The reception was held just around the corner at the Masonic Shrine facility. Many relatives from both families attended since Roger’s hometown was only 60 miles away in Lima, OH. They spent a few months assigned to the 1st Infantry Division at Fort Riley, KS before Roger attending training at the Artillery Center at Ft Sill, OK in 19! 5! 8. Their first child, Lois Anne, was born in Sandusky, OH ! on 2 Jun e 19 59 while the family was visiting her sister Betty A. Weisler. Helen was too pregnant to travel to their first overseas assignment, Hawaii. Helen arrived in Hawaii with Lois in the summer of 1959. Kay Lynn was born in July 1961, and Kip Marie was born in May of 1962. Helen then declared “no more children”. That goal was met. The family then traveled to Ft Sill and Ft Bliss for training, and then a 3-year tour with NSA at Ft Meade, MD. Roger then served in Viet Nam while the family lived in Milan, OH near Helen’s relatives. The family then spent time on or near Ft. Belvoir,VA ; lived at White Sands Missile Range while Roger served in Korea and moved to Ft Bliss, TX in 1972. The family enjoyed a two-year tour in Korea from 1975-77. The family returned to the US in 1977 to Ft Leavenworth and Lois was delivered to Northland College in Ashland, WI. She and her family remained in that area and are owners/managers of two brewpubs. Funeral Services are on Monday, Oct. 23, 2006 also at Getz Funeral Home with Rev. Carrol Blevins officiating. Burial will follow on Monday at Ft. Bliss National Cemetery.
