Helga Schaller, 84 of Front Royal, VA, passed away on Thursday, June 27, 2024.
Helga was born in 1940 in Düsseldorf, Germany, the daughter of the late Herbert and Klara Hermanns. In 1970, she immigrated to the United States with her husband and daughter, and settled in Pound Ridge, NY, where she was blessed with her second child, a son. After moving to Old Greenwich, CT, Helga proudly attained her US citizenship, then enjoyed retirement years in sunny Bradenton, FL. She spent her remaining years living in Virginia.
Throughout her life, Helga worked diligently in several fields. She excelled as an advertising facilitator for Special Team in Düsseldorf, Germany. Upon moving to the United States, she began working as a German language instructor with Berlitz, and later served as a manufacturer representative for Philip Stahl. Eventually, she started and operated her own small import business. During her retirement, she was an avid tennis player and enjoyed traveling.
Above all, Helga dedicated her life to her family and friends, whom she loved and supported with her whole heart. Her genuine smile, laughter, and zeal for life was contagious. Helga will be remembered for her courageous and compassionate spirit and will remain in the hearts of her family and friends forever.
A visitation will be held for Helga on July 5 at 9am at Omps Funeral Home, Amherst Chapel, with a Mass of Christian Burial to be conducted following the visitation at 11am at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church. Interment will be in Sacred Heart Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in memory of Helga to Blue Ridge Hospice, 333 W. Cork Street, Suite 405, Winchester, VA 22601 and/or to the Alzheimer’s Association.
