Helen Burbach
March 29, 1925 — November 12, 2018
Helen Burbach, 93, of Grover, CO passed away November 12, 2018 at Davis Hospice Center, Cheyenne, WY. She was born March 29, 1925 in Briggsdale, CO. Helen married Robert Burbach on November 30, 1942 in Kimball, Nebraska. Together they farmed and ranched in Colorado.
Helen was an incredible wife, mother, grandmother and friend with a large extended family whom she loved and they loved her very much. She took great pride in her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. She never missed a birthday party, reunion or family gathering as long as she was able.
While farming and ranching for many years beside her husband and son, she drove tractor and trucks. After Robert’s death in 1998, she continued running the cattle ranch alongside her son Lucky.
Helen was very proud of her family’s over one-hundred-year-old homestead she called the “Home Place” where she was born and grew up.
She had many special interests including gardening, cooking from scratch, she even ground the wheat she raised to make the bread. Additionally, she enjoyed sewing, being a Mary-Kay Consultant for 30 years and attending the annual Grover rodeo.
Helen is survived by two children, Alveena “Diane” Ponce of Denver, CO and Lucky (Patricia) Burbach of Carpenter, WY. Six grandchildren, Lisa (Brad) Ayers; Michelle Lohmar; Melissa (Vincent) Barber; Michael (Kristin) Lohmar; Monica (Jef) Lohmar and Shane Ponce. Three great-grandchildren, Megan Nicholson; Ryan Nicholson and Jayme (Yan) Raichart. Two great-great-grandchildren, Olivia Raichart and Emmerson Raichart and Helen’s sister-in-law Mary (Alvin) Wonenberg.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Burbach; parents, Martin and Anna Wonenberg; her siblings, Erna (George) Sauer; Emma (George) Neff; Mariam (Cedric) Hallock; Edward (Norma) Wonenberg; Herman (Anita) Wonenberg; Wilhelm (Joan) Wonenberg and Alvin Wonenberg.
