She leaves two daughters Christine Beluzo and her husband Kyle; Michelle Sheehan and her husband Luke; two brothers Real Tanguay and his wife Kathleen, Gilles Tanguay and his wife Cheri, a sister Lise Baillargeon and her husband Bruno; and five grandchildren Tyler, Max, Charlette, Desmond and Finnley.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Boys and Girls Clubs of America in honor of Helen’s love for helping less fortunate children and families. Donations may be made via donate.bgca.org.
Just today, I read of Helen's passing! Helen was an office mate of mine for a short time at Baystate. She was single and married soon after and loved to talk about her Larry and later her children. She had the kindest demeanor and such an easy laugh. I am so sorry for her family. Gone much too soon. I'm thankful for the memories I have of her.
