Helen Elizabeth Rorgo was born in Reliance, South Dakota, on March 6, 1925, to Oscar and Ada (Johnston) Rorgo. She passed away and into God’s care on January 10, 2021. In all likelihood, she was met by Neil and her parents at Heaven’s gates.
Helen received her education at Mobridge, Pierre, and Belvidere. She received her diploma a year after graduation, when Belvidere High School became accredited.
