It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Helen Davidian Fullem who died March14, 2025 at the age of 82 following a lengthy illness.
Helen grew up in Paramus, New Jersey and graduated from Paramus High School in 1961, where she excelled academically. She later graduated from The William Paterson College of New Jersey earning a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in Political Science.
