Helen Hurd Obituary
March 31, 1921-Oct. 3, 2010
Helen was the second-to-last child in a family of six, born and raised in Montebello. She married Thomas Hurd who served in the Army Air Corps during WWII, and anytime he had leave, he rushed home to be with his wife and their children. She and Thomas moved their family to Camarillo in 1978. Helen enjoyed potluck dinners and cooking for her family, and was an avid knitter and seamstress. She was part of the sewing circle at St. Mary Magdalen Church before becoming a "Volunteer Martha" at Padre Serra Church.
Helen is survived by her 94-year-old sister, Anita; three children, Ron (Sandy), Steve (Connie), and Chris (Mike); five grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
A Rosary and celebration of life will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 8 at Padre Serra Parish Church, 5205 Upland Road, Camarillo, interment will follow at Santa Clara Cemetery, 2370 North H Street, Oxnard.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Ventura County Alzheimer's Association, 80 N. Wood Rd., Camarillo, CA 93010.
