Helen was a devoted volunteer at Word of God Catholic School, where she touched the lives of many with her friendly demeanor and unwavering support, and spent great years with her children and grandchildren. Many of her fondest memories revolved around bowling and playing cards with her family and friends. A lifelong homemaker, Helen showed immense pride in keeping a welcoming home and a colorful flower garden. Perhaps one of Helen's most treasured traditions were her annual trips to Deep Creek, MD and Florida alongside her family. She was the embodiment of selflessness, always prioritizing the needs of her children and grandchildren above her own. Her kindness touched many lives, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
