Helen Bacon Obituary
BACON, Helen Lavender
Passed away peacefully on July 18, 2007 at age 91 in Carmichael, CA. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 60 years, Glenn Claire Bacon and beloved son, Larry George Bacon. She is survived by son, Glenn Charles Bacon; nieces, Doris Adams and Helen Jensen; six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends. Helen was born on September 11, 1915 in Hyattville, WY. She was raised in Washington state and Arizona where she was married to Glenn and gave birth to her sons. She moved to the Sacramento area in 1947 and has been a resident here since. Over this time, she has been blessed to have a huge community of caring friends who have been most kind and giving in her aging process. A celebration of Helen's life will be held at Celtic Cross Presbyterian Church, 5839 Dewey Dr., Citrus Heights, Saturday July 21 at 1:00pm. Private interment will be at Sierra Hills East Lawn Memorial Park. Helen (Mom, Grandma) was a source of loving kindness for everyone she touched. In lieu of flowers, an appropriate remembrance would be an intentional act of kindness on her behalf.

Helen and Glen were old neighbors of ours while growing up on NOrth Park Dr. We will always remember their genuine beings, with their sincerity and kindness. Helen was so soft spoken, and with her midwestern drawl, melt one's heart as she would talk speaking in gentle tones. We have missed the Bacons, on North Park Dr. The infamous 4th of July parade is still continues on. We miss the barbeques that were held on the Bacon's front yard. My own aging father, age 84 still lives across the street from the Bacon's old house. I still refer to the house as being the Bacon's house, even though, two families have lived in the house, since Helen moved to Citrus Heights. We miss Helen and her husband. They were 'salt of the earth' sort of people whose gentle beings are what is missing in todays age. God Bless the Bacon family.

I knew Glenn and Helen as Mr. and Mrs. Bacon. I was a child living on North Park Drive in Sacramento in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and they were our neighbors directly across the street. I have many fond memories of spending time with the Bacons and know that they are both deeply missed by friends and family.

Helen was a wonderful friend and a truly beautiful person, both inside and out. She never had an unkind word to say about anyone and was a role model for me and many others for having a positive and joyful outlook on life. She will be missed!!!
