Helen Crotty Obituary
Helen Marie Crotty (née Albers) was born on April 12, 1926 in Cincinnati, Ohio to August and Marie Albers. She was raised in Dayton and is a graduate of Julienne High School. She married the late John "Bob" Crotty in 1949 and they shared a beautiful 71 years together. Helen is preceded in death by her husband, her brothers (George, Bob, Tom, and Jack), her sister (June), her son-in-law (Doug), and her grandsons (Jason & David). Helen is survived by her 8 children: Evelyn, John (Pat), Patty, Barb (Rusty), Mary Ellen (Dan), Eileen (Steve), Mike (Cathy), and Bill (Jenni).

Helen spent her life doing things she loved: playing tennis, traveling, and spending time with her family. She loved raising her kids in Brittany Hills and playing in the annual Brittany Hills tennis tournament.
Helen was a woman of deep faith and a founding member of St. Charles Borromeo Parish. She often liked to ride her stationary bike while praying the Rosary so she could "kill two birds with one stone."
