Helen M. Kruszka, 90, of Long Lake went to her heavenly home on Wed. July 3, 2013, with her family gathered around her. Helen was born July 15, 1922, in Milwaukee, the daughter of Walter and Frances Glowacki. She was educated at St. Marys Academy, graduated at age 16 and continued her education at Marquette University. On April 28, 1941, Helen married Edgar S. Kruszka in Milwaukee. In 1956, they moved to California where they raised their family. She was employed at McDonnell Douglas as an executive secretary. In 1969, Helen and her husband, Edgar, started Mr. Ed’s Campground at Long Lake. She worked beside her husband until his death in 1998. Helen meticulously worked as the accountant for Mr. Ed’s and her positive attitude, quick smile, and beautiful disposition helped make the business successful. She loved the spirit of hunting for a great bargain, playing the slots, and hanging with her best “bud” Karen. One of her greatest joys was spending time with her grandchildren from Iowa and the Holidays with the grandkids from Fond du Lac and Long Lake. Those left behind to cherish her memory are her son Alan (Candy) Kruszka, Alan’s children; Dulcie Erickson, Ethan (Nikki) Kruszka, Ericka (Rob) Fitzgerald, Courtney (Ryan) Willis, Quinten (Rochelle) Kruszka, and Jordan Kruszka; Alan’s grandchildren; Amber, Logan, Dobre, Scout, Eden, Ashton, Ivy, Bijou, and Cossette, her daughter Karen (Don) Patchett, Karen’s children; Dawn Higgins and Angela Patchett, Karen’s grandchildren; Drew and Cassie, Karen’s great grandchildren; Alicia, Olivia, and Bentley, her sisters Florence(Jerry) Lyles and Betty Glowacki, other relatives and friends.
