Helen Rebecca Williams was born August 17, 1931 in Sundance, Wyoming. She was the daughter of W.C. and Annie L. (Smith) Williams. Helen, along with her ten siblings, grew up on the family ranch near Piniele, Montana. She attended the Crow Creek Country School and later earned her high school diploma in Broadus, Montana. She also attended tech school, studying bookkeeping.
On June 5, 1952 Helen married James A. Rosencranz at her mother's place near Piniele. Together they ranched on the Rosencranz Ranch and later bought their own land from Helen's mother. They raised both cattle and sheep. Helen always took a particular interest in nursing along the bum lambs. She also raised chickens. Helen and James stayed in Montana until 1993 when they sold their ranch and bought a feedlot east of Belle Fourche on the Valley 1 Road. At the time of her death, Helen was still active in the Rosencranz Feedlot, keeping the books.
Helen was a very devoted mother to her twin sons, Glen A. and Lynn B. Rosencranz. She home-schooled the boys in Montana. She loved to cook , play cards and do word puzzles and most any other game. She will be remembered for her devotion to her family and will be greatly missed.
Helen is survived by her husband of 55 years, James of rural Belle Fourche; sons, Glen and Lynn both of rural Belle Fourche; brother, Ira Williams of Ekalaka Montana; sister, Lois Hopkins of Gillette, WY; numerous nieces, nephews, and "in-laws".
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, William, Roger, Hank and Benjamin Williams; and sisters, Isabel Johnson, Annie Liss, Betty Crago, and Emily Norlin.
May God Bless the Memory of Helen Rosencranz.
