Helen and her siblings were the first generation born in Canada. Helen attended the Eigenheim school for an education of about grade 8 as was common in those days. Her family attended the Eigenheim Mennonite church and this is where she married Herman Neudorf in August of 1935. They lived mostly in the Rosthern area where their three children were born. Later they moved to BC in the fall of 1947 and then experienced the flood of 1948 in the Greendale area. Leaving farming behind they moved to Abbotsford, found livihood and attended the Alliance church.
