Aunt Helen’s brilliance floods the hearts, minds and souls of those she touched. I remember how her spirit lite up the room during the many Thanksgivings & Christmas’ the Bennetts had together. Though we had not seen each other for 4o years we always looked forward to her Christmas cards. Deep condolences Dale & Nadine Bennett

Helen was a wonderful, caring person. I helped Helen out once a week going to the bank and the grocery store. We would always go to lunch after running her errands. She will be missed dearly.

My parents, John and Barbara Beard, were good friends of Roger and Helen's. My mom, also, taught at Old Orchard. The four of them would often go out for dinner and take day trips.
