Helen was born November 17, 1936, in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, to Katherine (Neider) and Peter Bosiokovic. In 1952, she immigrated to the United States, embracing a new life full of opportunity, love, and faith.
She spent many years working at Buckeye Bakery and later at Therm-O-Disc, always known for her strong work ethic and kind spirit. In April 1957, she married, Ambrose “Bruce” Lahm. Together, they shared a beautiful life, including cherished winters in Florida and deep ties with their church community.
Helen was a devoted member of Apostolic Christian Church on Middle Bellville Road. Her faith was a guiding light in her life, and she found great joy in fellowship with her church family.
She will be remembered as a warm-hearted hostess and an exceptional cook. Her home was always open, filled with love, laughter, and the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals. She will warmly be remembered as Omi by her grandchildren who she loved dearly.
Helen is survived by her daughter, Diana (Randy) Riggleman; son, Robert Lahm; grandchildren, Alexis Lahm, Stephen (Kassia) Lahm, and Ryan (Sierra) Riggleman; great-grandchildren, Violet, and Forrest; and her brother, Emil Bosiokovic. She is also survived by several cousins and extended family who will miss her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Ambrose “Bruce” Lahm; her parents; her sister, Irma (Klaus) Arnold; and her daughter-in-law, Laura Lahm.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Helen’s life on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, with visitation at 10:00 AM followed by a funeral service at 11:00 AM at Apostolic Christian Church, 1332 Middle Bellville Road, Mansfield.
