Helen Giroux Obituary
Mrs. Helen A. (Brown) Giroux, 84, of Milford, MA passed away peacefully on October 7, 2025, surrounded by the love and presence of her family. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a proud grandmother whose strength, independence and warmth touched everyone who knew her.
A life-long resident of Milford, MA, she was the daughter of the late Arthur Brown and the late Mabel (McNeil) Brown. Helen was a woman of deep passion and determination. Strong-willed and hardworking, she lived life on her own terms, never shying away from challenges. Her love for animals, music, and dancing brought joy not only to her but to those lucky enough to share in those moments with her. Her patience with animals really showed in the connection she developed with her many beloved pets. There wasn't anything she couldn't teach them to do.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 59 years, Clifford K. Giroux; her daughter, MaryAnn Black and her husband James Black; and her cherished grandchildren, Benjamin and Kate. Helen adored her grandchildren and treasured every moment spent with them. She also leaves behind dear friends, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Funeral Services will be held Monday, October 20th, at 12 noon at the Edwards Memorial Funeral Home, 44 Congress Street, Milford, MA. Burial will follow in Vernon Grove Cemetery in Milford, MA. A visiting hour will be held prior to the service from 11:00am to 12 noon at the Edwards Memorial Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Dana-Farber Jimmy Fund, a cause close to the family's heart.
Helen will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
