Helen G. Kohn, 82, of Defiance, passed away on August 19th, 2012 at the Defiance Inpatient Hospice Center.

She was born on August 10, 1930 to George and Mabel (Like) Sager in Holgate, OH. She attended school at Hamler High School for 12 years.

She attended both St John's Catholic Church, and St Mary's Catholic Church. Helen owned the Dairy Bar in Hamler and then worked at Rink's Bargain City for several years. She then got the entrepreneurial itch, and started the Sugar Shack in Defiance. She also worked at Quality Farm   Fleet until she retired. Helen enjoyed sitting on the back porch talking to family   friends, cooking, and working in the garden with her flowers. Her family was her life, and her grandchildren kept her connected.
