She was one of the best people I have ever worked with, Helen was so kind and never forgot to stop in and say hello when she was in our area. She was truly one of a knid and will truly be missed.

I was impressed with Aunt Helen`s ability to make people feel at ease no matter what your education or station in life, she listened intently to what people had to say. She was a genuinely caring lady. I will miss her energy and vitality for life. She inspired me. Now she will take her well deserved rest and then perhaps be executive secretary to God, organizing Heaven.

Helen was a wonderful kind lady and would like to express my condolences to her family. Her UMB Bank family will truly miss her with her pleasant good morning greetings over the years. She had a great style in her appearance and professionalism. God bless Helen and her family.

I first became acquainted with Helen while working at UMB Bank. She was a member of our "lunch bunch" in the cafeteria, and we solved all of the problems in the world around that lunch table. Later on when I lost my husband suddenly, she became a rock for me to lean on. Time past and I found a new love interest. Helen then was my go to person to discuss this and how I should proceed. Her counsel was always "spot on". After we had both retired, we then became e-mail buddies. I shall miss her more than words can tell, and she has left a large hole in my heart. Rest in peace dear lady until we meet again.

I would like to express my condolences to the family of Mrs. Helen as she was known to many of us at UMB bank. Mrs. Helen was a very sweet and kind hearted person. She would always speak to you no matter where she saw you. I have thought of Mrs. Helen many times since she left UMB. May God bless the family.

Helen was the finest lesson on how to live life - a lady, true professional and a role model to many.

I knew Helen for 20 years here at UMB Bank and spent a number of those years on the same 8th floor as she. We would talk about the symphony and she surprised me one day with a gift of 2 tickets to the symphony. It was a very special night for me because of her generousity. She always made a point of asking about my grandsons and would always tell me how beautiful they were. As a grandma, that made me feel very proud of them. She always knew what to say and when to say it to make you feel so special. I will never forget her.

I met Helen in the 70's when we both worked in the Mobil Oil building at 210 W 10th.
We reconnected with our love of the Symphony some 20 years later.
Helen had many interests, was always fun to talk with and had a warm, positive outlook. I feel so honored to have known such a special woman and I mourn her loss.
My sympathy to you, Kitty and Freddie.

I met Hellen when my office at UMB Bank was moved to the same floor as the Symphony Foundation office. We would talk every day. She always was always so joyful. We loved seeing her out at the Symphony or the Theater League. She will be missed
