May Helen's soul continue to rest in Eternal peace

I recently heard of Helen's passing from my birthmother and felt compelled to write. Helen took a chance on a stranger back in 2003 when she agreed to try and connect me with my birth family. Helen contacted a member of the family and the rest took care of itself. I would not have this incredible connection with people who have become very dear to me without her. She was a blessing in my life and I think of her often with gratitude.I send my heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the family and...

I met Helen at ANMC in 1992 and immediately enjoyed her straight forwardness and great sense of humor. I came to know that Helen deeply relied on God and was a tremendous encouragement to me and many others. I was priveleged to see some of her paintings in progress. I would also see her at her booth at the annual AWAIC fund raising fair in downtown Anchorage. Later I attended her painting classes at the Native Cultural Heritage Center. I remember when she shared some of her personal painting...

Just heard of her passing. I worked with Helen in the Warrant Section of APD. She was a very nice lady (co-worker). I enjoyed her paintings, would see her at the Dimond Center selling her art every year. My heart goes out too her family.

I am saddened to hear about Helen's passing. We went to school together from grade school through high school.
I have admired her greatly for her many achievements and will cherish her three paintings I have in my home here in Florida. She is remembered with much fondness and will be greatly missed.

A very, very great Lady. What a loss. I have one of her paintings from years ago. She was a dear, dear friend to me before my children were born - what a lively spirit she has!!

I was so impressed last year reading the article of her museum finds.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I just got word of Helen's death. She will remain close to my heart. She and I met in the late 80's. She was a wonderful mentor and encouraged myself to move forward and always have love for others. When she would talk with me or write to me she was one of the most loving women. I will deeply miss her correspondence and may her family have comfort and peace. With all the love and respect; you will be missed Helen.

Sorry to learn of Helen's passing. She was a lovely lady. I met her in the late 1980's. We crossed paths regularly for a few years, then I moved out of Anchorage for a bit. I ran into her again at ANMC a few years ago. Her paintings are beautiful.

I enjoyed the meaningful conversations I had with Helen over the years and will remember her with great respect and admiration. Her brother Ronnie was my classmate for 12 years and in remembering her I will remember him.
