Helen was a beloved friend to me and to the members of our "Feleni" group that has met for many years. She always greeted us with her smile and ready conversation.  During our lessons or projects or parties, she was always a joyful part of whatever we did, always willing to drive any who needed a ride.

Helen spoke lovingly of her husband and family and we knew of her devotion to them .  We join them in their grief at her sudden passingl We were not yet ready to let her go. 

We love her. We will miss her terribly. We send our love to her family at this tender time.


Helen was so full of light and goodness-she treated everyone with great love. I will truly miss her.   Thankful to have known her.   God bless 

I have lost a best friend!  Bob and Helen have been our ministering couple almost since we moved into our Ward ten years ago. Helen and I have laughed so hard together and cried so hard together because we shared our family’s sorrows and joys so much together.  We will miss her more than I can say. Especially myself. Love Kathy Downs

Sister Barton and I wish to share our sincere condolences to family and friends. We will always cherish our many memories of Helen’s love, goodness, service, and of course her beautiful music. So grateful to have had the privilege of knowing her. 

Helen was wonderful!  She was graceful, gracious and unassuming.  Her devotion to her children helped them to be high achievers.  Her home reflected her organization, neatness and welcoming spirit.  She fulfilled every calling well, expecting the same discipline in herself that she expected in her family.  She was always pleasant to be with and I look forward to being her friend forever.

Dear Bob- I am saddened to hear of Helen's passing.  She was always a favorite of mine; especially while I served as Bishop.   The last time I saw Helen I thought she looked angelic.  Our prayers go out to you and your family.  She did the music at our son Ben's funeral.  
Dear Bob, What a magnificent team you and Helen are! Any responsibility you had together or individually was done to perfection. I remember Helen playing the organ in the Bountiful Temple; one day for the Prophet.  Wayne and Sue Snow

Helen was the best neighbor to have. She was interested in you and served with a smile. She was a great cook and shared her talent with many of us. I will miss seeing her out on walks with Bob...rain or shine. I love and miss you, Helen. 

Helen was the sweetest kindest lady ever. She was the first person who came over to greet me when I moved in two years ago. Since then I have visited with her many times and loved visiting with her.  I will miss her beautiful smile. And our visits.  Such a wonderful lady!  I know I will miss her. My prayers for her sweet husband and her family who she  loved so much.  😘. Lonie Lambert   Love you Helen ❤️

I will miss Helen so very much. I loved our "ice cream dates" with Helen, Cathey and me. We would visit for hours and just simply loose track of time.  Helen was beautiful inside and out. She was such a wonderful example to me of love and service to all.

I dearly loved Helen she was the first person I met when I joined the ward and she accompanied me a number of times. She was a very loving beautiful woman who everybody loved. We will all miss her very much and I thank her for sharing her wonderful talents for so many.

My life has been forever blessed by Helen's friendship and love.  It is so hard to believe that I saw her less than a month ago and had the very best day together.  She was so proud of her children and grandchildren and I know is with her beloved parents and grandson, Luke, right now.   I will miss her greatly and am so glad that she was part of my life.  Love Sue Levanger

Helen will be missed -- she affected so many lives with her kindness, humility & generosity.  I was blessed to have her beautiful piano accompaniment whenever I sang in church, or at a nearby branch/care center.  She was a wonderful choir accompanist, as well.  Helen always had a smile & was always willing to share her amazing talent.  The heavens are rejoicing at her return, while we are left to mourn her passing.  I will always strive to "be like Helen", for I know I will be led back home to be reunited with her & other loved ones again.  Our thoughts & prayers are with Bob and the rest of her family.
