Helen will be remembered with deep respect and enduring affection for the warmth she brought into the lives around her. She had a natural gift for turning ordinary moments into occasions—welcoming others in, taking pride in her home, and making sure laughter was never far away. Her presence could lift a room, and her devotion to those she loved was steady and unmistakable.
At the heart of Helen’s life was her marriage to her husband, Paul, whom she loved unconditionally. Married for over 60 years, their bond stood as a lasting testament to commitment, partnership, and the kind of love that anchors a family.
Helen is survived by her beloved children, Stephen, Linda and Barbara and her husband, John; her dearest grandchildren, Marisa, Nicholas, Michael and Jillian; her cherished great grandchildren, Juliana, Jonathan and Ariana.
Above all, Helen loved her family very much, and that love will remain part of her legacy—felt in shared memories, familiar stories, and the joy she so freely gave.
