HELEN IS ALWAYS REMEMBERED, FROM OUR TIME TRAINING TO BE TEACHERS AT CARTREFLE COLLEGE, WREXHAM, NORTH WALES. SHE HAD A FANTASTIC PERSONALITY AND WAS ALWAYS BRIGHT, HAPPY AND GREGARIOUS

The most warm hearted, loveable Liverpudlian you ever could meet. Whether in Bogota, London or Chicago, there was no mistaking ebullient Helen's zest for life, especially if "the reds" were winning. Sweet dreams.

I was a friend of Helen's at Cartrefle Teacher Training College, Wrexham, North Wales. It was real shock to hear of her death.

We will always smile when we remember Helen's beautiful and unique spirit. We were especially grateful to her for helping us plan a memorable family trip to the UK in 2009--which she did joyfully and in fantastic detail. We even phoned her mum and dad while in England to send greetings and then visited her home town. Helen, until we meet again...you remain to the O'Dea Family...the most famous and fab Liverpuddlian ever to cross the pond. Rest well my friend.

Helen took over the BOP volunteer coordinator job that I really disliked and with her always cheerful attitude made it into something positive. Then she enhanced it by bringing in seniors from the retirement living centers to enjoy the high school concerts. She was a joy to work with and be around and I will miss her.

Dear Quinn family,

You have my prayers and condolences at this difficult time. I got the pleasure of working with Helen at Glenbard West on AMP/BOP/CPA. I admired her organizational skills when it came to the Winter Music Festival. She ran the volunteers like a fine orchestra. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word. May she rest in peace.

It was a pleasure and privilege being entry into Helen's world of fun, compassion and service. As her colleague, I had the opportunity for candid conversations and canaraderie with her and will cherish those memories until we meet again. I love you, Helen, and always will.
