Helen M. Pfeifer, 95, retired sheet metal assembler for Cessna and Boeing Aircraft passed away on Monday, December 10, 2012. Helen was a sister, a wife, a mother and more. She was the matriarch of an entire family, the glue that held together generations of her descendants. She was a woman who enjoyed little things like bingo and daytime television. The things she really cared about, though, stayed with her through her final days.
