Mrs. Truskett was a teacher of mine at Poquoson Elementary, and I've thought about her often. As a teacher, she did a phenomenal job of keeping us engaged. I specifically remember the interest she showed when I sang in the talent show, and she definitely plays an influential part in my persistence with music.
While I'm sad to have learned of her embarkment on the next adventure, I'm happy she impacted me and I'm sure many others the way she did..

Helen was a shining light in our Olds Yorke Chapel community - her kindness and concern for others was one of her most beautiful assets. She loved children and loved sharing her knowledge and wisdom with others in a most generous way. I will always remember going to her home with my sister to learn how to make Ukranian Easter eggs - I, like many others, cherish those eggs that Helen helped me make. Peace and blessings to a most wonderful woman.

We were so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. She will be missed. We enjoyed our telephone conversations with her. I wish we had lived closer. She was a great lady.
Love, David and Gerri Truskett

Helen and I taught together at Poquoson Elementary from 1981-1991. I was just 22 when I started and she and I formed a lovely relationship that I always treasured. She was a very special lady that has touched so many and will be missed but remembered dearly.

Helen was a wonderful lady with a great sense of humor. I knew her as a fellow Master Gardener. She was active in so many programs over the years. I would see her shopping and we always had a good chat then as well as on the phone. I will miss her. The family has my deepest condolences.

My condolences to the family of this awesome lady I never had the pleasure to meet. I now see where the talents of her children were instilled. I went to Tabb with Olenna. Olenna was a beautiful dancer and gymnast, and if my memory serves me right she was in band as well. Mrs. Truskett taught her children to be fascinating and I can imagine she continued with her grandchildren. Take care of each other and cherish the impact she had on so many.

Helen was an extraordinary lady, very caring and sweet to all. Worked with her husband, Gene, a Realtor, for many years. Helen often joined us for lunch and many other events, as part of a group that met regularly. We enjoyed this amazing and wonderfully talented couple so much!

I was one of the lucky ones to learn from Mrs. Truskett. She gifted me the name egg 45 years ago in 4th grade and the others years later. She was a treasure!

She impacted my life positively. She was my fourth grade teacher at Poquoson Elementary School and I still remember a lot of the things she taught me. She was ahead of her time in the way she connected to students and parents. She will be missed dearly.

Mrs. Truskett was my 4th grade teacher at Poquoson Elementary. During my year with her she took me under her wing and loved me. Lovey Dovey, a hurt dove that she rescued, was in our classroom during the school year. He would sit in her hair as she walked the aisles teaching us. After this school year she invited me back in the early summer to help her clean out her classroom. I never saw her again after this summer but the impact she had on my life has never been forgotten. I am saddened to hear of her passing but thankful to have had her in my life. Prayer and love ❤
