Helen Kaufman, age 89, of Toledo, passed away Friday, September 13, 2013. She was born July 22, 1924 in Toledo to Mr. & Mrs. August (Tekla Goetz) Weber. She graduated from St. Agnes Grade School. A devout Catholic, she was a lifelong member of St. Agnes Parish where she belonged to the Alter Rosary Society, Woman's Choir and oversaw the Moses basket that she started, that collected items for Heartbeat of Toledo until the parish closed and was a current member of St. Catherine of Siena Parish. She was a 1942 graduate of Central Catholic High School; she sang the CCHS fight song until the day she died. She was employed at Peerless Plastics as a Union Steward and met her husband there. She was also employed at the Board of Education. Helen was proud of her German heritage and a member of the Bavarian Sports Club. She volunteered at Heartbeat of Toledo and the Foundation for Life. She was actively involved with her husband Bob's produce business as a Huckster for over 60 years - the last Huckster in Toledo. Helen was a very frugal woman and made the most of everything - nothing was ever thrown away, she received great pleasure from the simple things. She was very meticulous, artistic and creative in making her own greeting cards and as a seamstress. She had a great sense of humor, and was always funny and always maintained a positive outlook. Until last year she loved to drive her Plum colored PT Cruiser.

Survived by sons, Barry (Denise) Kaufman, and John Kaufman; daughter, Joan Peake (Al); grandchildren, Ann Marie, Kelly Jo, Anthony, Philip, Mariah, Robert, Ryan, Kurt, Jared and Kevin; great-grandchildren, Emma, Lilly and Anderson.
