Helen BOEHME Obituary
Carmel, IN - 88, formerly of Beavercreek, OH, passed away February 24, 2021. Helen was born Dec. 5, 1932, in Waverly, Iowa, to Wilbur and Edna (Boddy) Thorson.

Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Miami University in Oxford, OH, in 1954. She was a member of Chi Omega Sorority.
In 2015, Helen and Richard moved to Carmel, IN, and resided at Sunrise Senior Living. Her home and family were her priority - as she was devoted to her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She loved to travel - both domestic and international, and enjoyed participating in water sports - boating/skiing, sailing, scuba diving as well as snow skiing. For years, she loved to volunteer at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, OH, rocking preemies in the NICU.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff at Sunrise Senior Living and Paradigm Health for the care provided to Helen.
