Mildred (Helle) Wing passed away on Tuesday, August 13, 2013, at St. John's Lutheran Home. She was 99 years old.
Mildred was born on May 26, 1914 to Gustave and Ida (Homann) Helle. She grew up on a farm near Otsego, WI. She graduated from Rio High school, WI. Upon graduation, Mildred attended Secretarial School in Milwaukee, WI, where she would eventually meet her husband, Julian Wing. The couple exchanged their wedding vows on June 4, 1935 in Bismarck, ND. She later obtained her college degree in education from Mankato State University, Mankato, MN in 1958. Shortly after graduation, she began teaching at Emmons grade school in Emmons, MN, and continued to do so until her retirement in 1979.
Mildred was a long time, active member of First Lutheran Church in Albert Lea. She was involved in various Church Circles. Other organizations she belonged to were "AAUW" as well as "Tuesday Literary Group." In her free time, Mildred enjoyed playing cards with her family members, and playing dominos with friends. Education was always a part of her life. She gained enjoyment and satisfaction out of reading, and was always eager to learn.
Mildred was a very organized, strong-willed person. She was the type of person that always took charge in any situation. She was a very independent and caring woman, who was the caretaker for her husband for over 10 years. Mildred was always willing to listen, and was even more willing to give advice. She enjoyed taking trips to Arizona to visit her sister. Most of all, she loved her family, especially seeing the smiling faces of her 13 great grandchildren.
Surviving members of her family are her daughter, Nancy Kuiters; grandchildren, Laurel Peterson, Jay (Emily) Kuiters, Lee (Kerri) Kuiters, and Mary (Michael) Kirtz; great-grandchildren, Abigail and Lukas Peterson, Anna, Benjamin, Henry, Kate, Andrew and Joseph Kuiters, Corinne, Drew, and Seth Kuiters, and Caleb and Chloe Kirtz; as well as two nieces and two nephews.
Those who are preceded in death include her parents; husband, Julian Wing; and sister, Helen Helle.
