Denita M. Helsinger

June 8, 1964 - July 9, 2019

On July 9, 2019 Denita Marie (Durbin) Helsinger of Eaton, Ohio departed this world for her next adventure. Denita was born in Hamilton, Ohio on June 8th, 1964 to Joe and Mary Rose (Kidd) Durbin. Denita attended Edgewood Schools. On June 7th, 2014, she married her best friend, Jerry Helsinger in Trenton, Ohio. They shared many joyous adventures over the next few years. Although their time together was short, it was filled with a lot of laughter and even more love. Jerry helped her understand what it felt like to be completely and totally loved and accepted. She could finally be herself and that is a good thing to be. Along with her husband Jerry, Denita is survived by her three wonderful daughters and son-in-laws, Chantelle (Matt) Jennings, Larissa (Troy) Blevins and Katie (Jamie Taylor) Colwell. The fact that she survived their teenage years virtually unscathed is a true testament to her stubborn consternation. Through all the disagreements over the phone, clothes, friends and boys, they remained a tight knit group who loved each other immensely. They were there for her when times were tough with unwavering devotion. She also leaves 3 beautiful granddaughters, Alivia Marie (Levi Ennis) Blevins, Hailey Elizabeth Colwell and Madilynn Dawson. Her Mother, Mary Rose Durbin, one sister, Danette (Scott) Shuler, a very dear brother and sister-in-law, Jon and Abby Helsinger, nieces and nephews, Clifford Shuler, Stephanie (Colin Weeks) Shuler, Audrey Helsinger and Beau Helsinger. One great nephew, CJ Shuler. Denita was preceded in death by her beloved father Joe Edward Durbin. She leaves many special friends in her Lake Lakengren community who supported Jerry and herself through her extended illness. She also leaves behind many special coworkers at U.S. Food. Denita and the family would like to express gratitude and appreciation for her Tri Health care team, Dr. Ed Crane, Tiffany, Sarah, Abigail, Halicia, Renea and Denita’s angel Tina. They were there every step of the way with their expertise and genuine compassion. Funeral services will be at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, July 13, 2019 at Weigel Funeral Home, 980 N. W. Washington Blvd. Visitation will be Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until time of the service at the funeral home.
