Helen F. Lingelbach, a native of Baltimore and former shoe saleswoman, died Tuesday at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center of complications from a broken hip.

She was 80 and lived on Birmingham Road in Parkville.

A mass of Christian burial for Mrs. Lingelbach was being offered today at St. Mary of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church, 5500 York Road.

A resident of Govans for many years, she retired in 1980 after working about 26 years at the G.H. Gorsuch and Sons store on 20th Street near Charles. As a young woman, she had worked there and at O'Neill & Co.

She is survived by a son, Theodore J. Lingelbach of Parkville; a sister, Margaret H. Callahan of Baltimore; and many nieces and nephews.
