Battle Creek Enquirer
Helen L. Bachorik, age 91, of Battle Creek, died Monday, December 17, 2007 in 
Orlando, Florida.
Helen was born in East Leroy and grew up on her family's farm there. She 
attended East Leroy's one-room Blackett School through eighth grade, graduated 
from Lakeview High school in 1934, and received a Bachelor's Degree in Home 
Economics from Michigan State College in 1939. She earned a Master's Degree in 
Counseling from Northwestern University in the late 1940s.
She began her teaching career in home economics at Okemos, and after WWII she 
returned to Battle Creek to teach that subject at Southeastern Jr. High. From 
1955 to 1967, she was a part-time teacher and director at the Battle Creek 
School Farm, and she served as a guidance counselor at Southeastern from 1967 
until her retirement in 1978.
In addition to her numerous educational and career successes, she made her 
house a true home. She touched many lives through her joy in gardening, sewing, 
cooking, and baking. She excelled in those fields, but she will be remembered 
above all for her life-long generosity. 
Helen was a member of several teachers' associations, including the Calhoun 
County Counselors Association, the Michigan Personnel and Guidance Association, 
the Battle Creek Home Economics Association, the Preceptor Laureate Delta 
chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, Delta Kappa Gamma, and the First Congregational 
Church. 
Her husband of 59 years passed away last year. 
Her first husband, Tom Miller, died in WWII.
In accordance with her wishes, a cremation has taken place, and a memorial 
service will be held in Battle Creek next spring. Memorials may be directed to 
the Jack K. Mawdsley Scholarship Fund of the Battle Creek Community Foundation. 
Arrangements are by the Richard A. Henry Funeral Home.
