Helen Wilhelmine Ida (Kroschel) Gustafson, affectionately known as "Dolly" or "Del" peacefully passed away on November 4, 2023, at the age of 103. She was born on April 6, 1920, in Kroschel, MN to her parents, Gustav and Ida Kroschel.

Helen will be fondly remembered by her children Sharon Davis, and her spouse Fred Olander of Hinckley, MN, Sandi and Jeff Schaefer of Georgia, Debbie and Dennis Mayrand of Missouri, and Randy Gustafson of Sandstone, MN. Helen's legacy continues through her 5 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence, son, Gary and daughter-in-law Julie (Helm) Gustafson.

Helen's love for family and her special interests in reading, cooking, decorating, and spending time with loved ones filled her 103-year journey with joy. She carried cherished memories of her childhood, where she would ride horse and buggy with her mother to downtown Kroschel.

A private family burial will be held at a later date to honor and celebrate Helen's remarkable life.
