Cathy was born on January 2, 1962 to Anton & Catherine (Burbach) Schmitt in Hazel Green, WI. She was a graduate from Southwestern High School and later from NICC with an Associates Degree in Respiratory Therapy. She worked for over 25 years at Southwest Health as a respiratory therapist. She married the love of her life, Gary P. Helbing on October 14, 1983 in Hazel Green, WI. Cathy was a natural 'green thumb' when it came to plants & flowers in her home. From a banana tree, a gorgeous bird of paradise, roses, and hibiscus, Cathy could do it. Cathy also enjoyed going to the beach, searching for beautiful shells and coral to add to her collection. Most of all, Cathy enjoyed time spent with her family, her granddaughter, Lily, and her friends. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.

Cathy is survived by her husband of 40 years, Gary; her daughter, Katie (Brian) Majerus and their daughter Lily of Mount Horeb, WI; her mother, Catherine (Gerald) Weber of Lancaster, WI; 3 siblings: Anton Schmitt of Hazel Green, WI, Donna Krieger of Platteville, WI and Bernadette Valo of Enoch, UT; along with many beloved family members. She was preceded in death by her father, Anton Schmitt.

Cathy's family would like to thank the staff at Southwest Health Infusion Center and St. Croix Hospice for their incredible care and kindness.

In lieu of plants & flowers, a Catherine "Cathy" L. Helbing Memorial Fund has been established.
