Helen Madsen Mellgren
Flippin - On July 1, 2018 Helen Madsen Mellgren passed away at Twin Lakes Living and Rehab Center in Flippin, Arkansas. She had lived there for about a year and a half. She was attended by hospice personnel as well as nursing home staff. She was almost 93 years YOUNG and enjoyed all of her life and all of her family and friends.
Helen was a lifetime homemaker; married to John W Mellgren for 65 years. He preceded her in death in February 2013. They raised 3 children in St. Paul, Minnesota: David W. Mellgren, Nancy Mellgren Styer, and Susan Mellgren Staffon. Helen had 6 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren (with one on the way). She cherished her family so very much, and loved her nieces and nephews and friends as well.
John and Helen moved to Yellville, Arkansas in 1975. They loved the Ozarks and lived here until they went to be with their loving God.
Helen was an accomplished pianist, taught piano lessons, and played accompaniment at many churches. She had many hobbies. In her youth she loved ice race-skating (and was darn good!!) She snow skied, went rock hunting with Susan, and basically enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
We will all miss her beautiful smile, her contagious cheerful spirit, and loving personality.
Our special love and thanks to ALL of the staff at Twin Lakes. People in every department loved our precious Mother/Grandmother. She loved them and they loved her. Thank you for your tender care for her. Also, thanks to Dr. Bogle and his staff (Angela) for their concern and care during her end of life on this earth.
Private services are under the direction of Roller-Burns Funeral Home in Yellville, Arkansas.
