HELGA HERMANN

Helga S. Hermann of Mill Valley, a 10-year resident of Marin, died in a local hospital yesterday after a short illness. She was 95.

Mrs. Hermann was born in Denmark and came to the United States in 1905.

She lived in New York, Kansas, San Diego and San Francisco before moving to Marin.

She was last employed as a dressmaker for the Liebas Co. in San Francisco before retiring in 1950.

Surviving her is her son, Jack Hermann, a Kentfield architect. Mrs. Hermann’s husband of 14 years, John Hermann, died in 1919.

A memorial service will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at the Mill Valley Community Church, Mill Valley.

At her request, her ashes will be scattered around a redwood tree she planted at her son’s home.

The family prefers memorial contributions to the Redwoods Retirement Center in Mill Valley.
