Obituary
Harriett Evelyn Jorgensen Hein passed away peacefully on October 25, 2017
Harriett was the daughter of the late Viggo and Elna Jorgensen.
She lived a full life, always remaining in the Lake Mills area.
Harriett married Carroll 'Kelly' Hein sharing 70 years together.
Harriett will always be remembered for her selfless dedication and commitment to her family. She accomplished so much in her lifetime. She was a hardworking farm wife while raising a large family. Harriett served as treasurer to the township of Milford, a smiling lunch lady for the Lake Mills schools and worked for Pirwitz Motors in customer service. She always took pride in a job well done.
Harriett was proud of her Danish heritage. She also enjoyed many things. Some of her favorites were golfing, card club with her neighborhood friends, decorating beautiful cakes for family events, and showing love to her many furry animal friends.
Harriett was comforted and guided by the wise words of the Serenity Prayer and shared its words of comfort with many family and friends.
Harriett is survived by her husband, Carroll 'Kelly' Hein; her sons, Michael (Heidi), William (Sandy), David (Linda); her daughters, Susan (Kevin) Klement, Kathy (Mark) Brendler, Loree (Lynn) Walker; her son in law Jim Kottwitz; her sister, Vivian Stelse; 16 grandchildren; 32 great-grandchildren; 1 great great grandchild; and many nieces, nephews, family and friends.
Harriett was preceded in death by her daughters Sally Pitterle, and Gail Kottwitz; her parents, Viggo and Elna Jorgensen; her brother, Harvey Jorgensen; and sister in law Nancy Jorgensen.
The family would like to thank Rainbow Hospice home care team for the caring help during Harriett's life end journey.
Thank you to the wonderful neighbors that kept a watchful eye as our Mom went out into the neighborhood on her frequent adventures.
There will be no formal services. The immediate family will be having an informal gathering in the future to remember and celebrate Harriett's life.
Harriet would like for you to remember her by showing a kindness to a child or animal in need.
