Helen had volunteered in the Medical Records Department at St. Joseph Hospital for many years. She worked side by side with all of us and was a very kind and caring lady. We were all very lucky to have worked with such a wonderful lady all those years. All my best to her family.

Dear Family, I am sorry for your loss. I went to junior high with Corey and Cortnee and "great-gram" would come to our basketball games. She was always so cute and classy. If memory serves me, she always had a perfect manicure. Looks like she lived a long and lovely life.
