HELEN M. COUCH

Helen M. Couch, age 72, of Liberty, passed away surrounded by her family on August 17, 2022. She was born on April 29, 1950, in Richmond, the daughter of the late Francis Carl Wentz and Florine Bennington Wentz Hermann. 

On October 8, 1973, in Orange, Helen was united in marriage with Dayton G. Couch. They were able to share 37 years together before his passing in 2011.

Helen retired from Visteon in 2002 after 30 years of service. She began her career in 1972 when it was Philco-Ford. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who enjoyed shopping and working on crafts. Each spring you could find her wandering through the woods hunting mushrooms. Above all, she loved to spend time with her family.

Those she has left behind to remember her with joy and love in their hearts are her daughter, Melissa (Eric Neeb) Couch; sons, Richard (Genea) Carden, Scott (Shelli LaMaster) Miller, and Greg Sheplar; sisters, Sue Alcorn, Linda Longworth and Penny Gindling; 12 grandchildren, Ashley, Sara, Jami, Isabelle, Jackson, Bub, Christopher, Alissa, Caleb, Sierra, Amanda and Mark; and six great grandchildren.

Besides her parents and husband, she is preceded in death by a son, Travis Couch and a brother, Rodney Wentz.

Graveside services will be conducted at the Westside Cemetery in Milton, IN on Monday August 22, 2022, at 1 pm with Pastor John Reynolds officiating. 

Memorial contributions may be made to the Union County Cancer Association.

Urban Winkler Funeral Home is honored to assist the Couch family once again with the arrangements.
