Helen Michel Obituary
Poway
Helen Michel, 91, of Poway, took her last breath on earth Tuesday, January 25, 2022, and her first breath in heaven that same moment.
Helen lived a full life. She was devoted to the Boy Scouts program for 23 years and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Helen received her Associates Degree from Ventura College, and certifications for Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counseling and Family Counseling. Helen was a stock car racer, artistic painter, seamstress, and craftswoman. She baked wedding cakes professionally, was a real estate investor, loved gardening, and had a passion for fishing.
Helen was in church every Sunday at Cornerstone Church in Poway until the pandemic in February of 2020. She loved going out to lunch, Starbucks, getting pedicures at Fancy Nails in Poway, attending church events, and spending holidays with extended family.
Helen is survived by three sons, six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and two sisters. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband Richard, her parents, her stepson, her grandson Jonathan, her six brothers and five sisters.
A celebration of life service will be held at Cornerstone Church of Poway, 13617 Midland Road, Poway, CA 92064 on Sunday, February 6th at 1:30pm, with a reception immediately following. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Cornerstone Church of Poway.

I met Helen while regularly visiting a friend at her care facility. She was a wonderful and joyful spirit, even as she was in the throws of dementia you could clearly see that. I´m sorry I saw this obit after her celebration of life.
