Read MoreI consider myself so lucky to have known Helen and John over the years. I will always remember the stories that Helen shared with me of WWII Europe, her travels in Alaska, and her many adventures and escapades. She was truly an inspiration, and a wonderful woman. I will always remember them both so fondly.

What a wonderful Elect Lady. Helen is our dear friend and sister in the Gospel. A couple of years ago we traveled to BYU Education Week with her and learned so much from. While five of us older gals (20 years younger than Helen)were wore out by 7pm every night, Helen just kept going until after 10pm. She said she had come to learn so off to the night classes she went leaving all of us in her dust. We will miss her presence greatly.

We always loved visiting with Helen and when we first arrived in the valley, we got acquainted and found that we are shirttail relations through John and Allan's sides of the family from good ole Wyo. We will keep Don and family in our prayers.

In the 50ies, Mrs. Dolenc was my brownie scout leader. She made everything so much fun. My dad, the late Irving Ungudruk was good frienda with Mr. Dolenc and was one of the reasons their son's middle name is Irving. I'm sad to hear of her passing. She certainly contributed much to the people around her and made our lives much better for having known her. Sincerely, Edna Ungudruk Peters

Helen was a good friend and neighbor. She was always looking for interesting things to do with our boys, Scott and David. Our sympathies go to Don and his family. I know they will miss Grandma Helen.
