Helen Ranck of Dauphin, PA passed away peacefully on August 20, 2025 at UPMC West Shore Hospital at the age of 90.

Born on April 3, 1935 in Rockingham, PA, she was the daughter of the late Ann (Gavala) Rosko and Charles Rosko. She was also preceded in death by her sister Mary (Rosko) Reba, her brother Charles Rosko and her beloved husband of 65 years, Phillip C. Ranck.

Helen dedicated much of her career to Capitol Blue Cross where she retired after 35 years of service. Outside of work she enjoyed bird watching, crafting, Penn State football and traveling with her husband. Together they enjoyed countless trips to Canada, camping at Raystown with friends and spending time on the boat. Their most memorable adventure was a trip to Hawaii to celebrate their anniversary.
