Helen Bavelas Obituary
Helen married James Spero Bavelas on the 13th of August, 1950 in Vallejo, California. After which, she and Jim settled on the family farm in Centerville, Utah. She was known for being able to grow anything under the sun, showing great hospitality, and being self-reliant on the farm. She was able to create magnificent works of art through her crocheting and needle work. But above all, she loved her family first above anything else.
She leaves a legacy of knowledge and life living that is lost today. Helen is survived by her two sons, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. She now joins her husband, daughter, two grandchildren, and other beloved loved ones. Helen was known by many loving names, but everyone knew her as Yiayia.
Funeral services will be held at the Holy Trinity Cathedral. 279 South 300 West Salt Lake City, Utah from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM on Saturday, August 5th. The viewing will be held at Russon Mortuary. 295 North Main Street Bountiful, Utah on Friday, August 4th from 6:00-8:00 PM. Online guest book at www.russonmortuary.com.

Dear Speros and extended Bavelas Family,
I was sad to read of your mom's passing. It reminded of growing up with you all, knowing her as a customer while I was at working at Dick's Market, attending Viewmont High School with many of you, and meeting relatives from across the country while working for Uncle Paul. You are a wonderful family. I treasure our lifetime of friendship.
Love and condolences,
Jim ( Jimaco) Bavelas
