Deborah Helt Obituary
Deborah Helt, born on June 26, 1957, in Butler, Pennsylvania, passed away on April 6, 2025, at the Hospice House. She was 67.
Deborah's professional journey spanned an impressive 26 years at the Daniel Daniluk Law Office, where her expertise and diligence were highly regarded by peers and clients alike. She earned her Master’s degree in Paralegal from Youngstown State University, which equipped her with the skills necessary to excel in her field.
She was an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and enjoyed cooking, crosswords, crocheting, camping, and flower gardening. Her greatest joy, however, came from spending time with her beloved family, especially her grandchildren.
Deborah is survived by her children, Shawn (Angela) Helt of Niles, Ryan (Mindy) Helt of Austintown, and Jennifer (Brian) Newhouse of Wadsworth. She also leaves behind her sister in law, Gail (Jim) Lowers and grandchildren; Hazel, Kaitlyn (Adam), Ian, Ashley, Remy, and Tabea.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald A. Helt, who she married on August 24, 1974 and lived happily until his passing on February 24, 2016.
A visitation will be held on April 19th from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, followed by a memorial service starting at 5:00 PM at Blackstone Funeral Home in Girard.
