peacefully with her loved ones holding her hand. Born in Winthrop, Massachusetts, Helaine was the
cherished daughter of Sally and David Groman. Helaine adored growing up in Winthrop surrounded by
all her favorite aunts, uncles and cousins living right up the street from her. Helaine attended Winthrop
High School and went on to Lesley College in Boston where she earned her Bachelor of Science and her
teaching credential. As a kindergarten teacher, she engaged her students with music. She was a
wonderful pianist who would sing and put on musical shows to make learning fun and to make her
lessons stick.In 1967, Helaine married Dr. Michael Weiss and moved out to Los Angeles, California. She
was a devoted mother to her daughter Carrie (married to David Ring) and her son Andrew (married to
Stephanie). Her greatest joy was to be with her grandchildren Dillon, Kayla, Alexis, Samantha and Julia.
She took immense pride in everything they did and was a part of their lives every day. She will be forever
remembered for her steadfast loyalty to those she loved, her kindness, her selflessness and her devotion. A funeral service for Helaine will be held on Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at 12:00PM at Stanetsky-Hymanson Memorial Chapel, 10 Vinnin Street, Salem, MA.
