Biographical Sketch: Helen Agnes Jaszkowiak Wing
Helen Agnes Jaszkowiak was born on April 29, 1911 in Bismarck, North Dakota to Francis William “Frank” and Mary Katrina Klapprich Jaszkowiak. Frank was a naturalized citizen of the U.S. and spoke German. His wife, Mary Katrina Klapprich, was born in North Dakota, but her parents were Germans from Russia immigrants and pioneers in North Dakota. Her father, Frank owned and operated a well-drilling business, but also was well known for constructing his own automobiles. Helen grew up in Bismarck, graduating from St. Mary’s High School and then attending the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota. She graduated from the Minneapolis Business College. After graduation, she was employed as a stenographer for the State Regulatory Department in Bismarck in 1932, then in 1940 for the U.S. Soil Conservation Service in Mandan, North Dakota, later working for the U.S. Department of the Interior grazing service in Billings, Montana. In Billings, she was engaged to Charles H. Wing, who was a soil surveyor for the U.S. Department of the Interior grazing service there in 1941. They were married in St. Mary’s Procathedral in January 4, 1942 by Father Robert A. Feehan. Their only child, Virginia, was born November 25, 1947. They moved to Jefferson Wisconsin in the early 1940s. Helen died on August 31, 1997 in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin and is buried in Saint John the Baptist Catholic Cemetery in Jefferson, Wisconsin with her husband Charles Harry Wing (1911-1992) and their daughter Virginia A. Wing (1947-2005).
