Helen Louise Morlock

Helen Louise Morlock Age 85, passed away Friday May 16, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. Helen was born May 2, 1940 in New London, MN to Reuben and Edna Erickson. Her family relocated to Willmar, MN soon after. Helen graduated from Willmar High School, spent time at North Park College in Chicago, IL and completed her education at the Lutheran Bible Institute in Golden Valley, MN where she met her former husband. After living in Minneapolis, MN, the family transitioned to Duluth, MN for about five years before moving back to the Twin Cities area. Helen worked part time when her children were very young. When she returned to full-time employment, she spent the majority of her career working for Target Headquarters in the Financial Accounting Department, which is where she retired from. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, especially her grandchildren, by whom she was adored. She attended as many of their important events as she could and joined them on many adventures. Helen was an avid scrapbooker. She enjoyed art fairs, doing crafts, and redecorating projects. She went on many weekend retreats with her dear sister, Maggie, where at least one of those events was usually on the agenda. Helen's faith was important to her throughout her life. As an adult she taught Sunday School, participated in the church bell choir, and regularly attended Covenant Women's Triennials, which was an opportunity to spend quality time with close friends, and take a few side trips along the way. Helen was known to have a witty sense of humor, told great stories, and brought laughter and fun to those who knew her. She is survived by her son, Christopher (Mark Henning) Morlock of Maple Grove, MN; daughter, Jennifer (William) Glader of Antioch, IL; grandchildren, Grace and Otto Glader; and many other beloved family and friends. Helen was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Margaret Ann "Maggie" Hanson (2021) and Audrey Jean Erickson (2010). A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 14th at 10:30am at Covenant Living Golden Valley (5800 St. Croix Ave. N., Golden Valley) with a light lunch to follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a memorial donation to the Alzheimer's Association.
