She also traveled widely in her younger years. Helen was a longtime member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, and a retiree of “the railroad”, having spent much of her working life there. For the past year and a half, Helen was a resident at Good Samaritan Society – Maplewood. The family wishes to thank the staff there for the excellent care she received. Private services are being held, with burial at Resurrection Cemetery. A video replay of the service will be posted when available. A celebration of Helen’s life will be scheduled at a later date.
