BARNEVELD - Susan Ann Helgeson, age 74, of Barneveld, passed away on Monday, May 18, 2020. She was born on May 17, 1946, in Madison, the daughter of Robert and Blanche (Anderson) Harris.

Susan worked for the Gonstead Clinic Seminar, Madison Newspapers and Deer Valley Lodge over the years. She was a member of Perry Lutheran Church and the Barneveld Homemakers.
Susan enjoyed trips to Ho-Chunk with her sister and going to football, basketball and baseball games. She was an avid bowler with an all-time high score of 298 and is remembered at making a half-court shot during halftime at one of Konni's basketball games.
