Helen Mudlock, 97, went to heaven to be with her Lord and Savior on Oct. 2, 2025.
Helen was born in Shantytown on April 10, 1928, to the late Metro and Mildred Drahusczak Baron. After graduating from Jenkins Township High School, she worked as a seamstress for Joseph Marykwas Factory among others.
Helen had a heart for God, and she began every day by reading her Bible and praying for her family and friends. She was a faithful member of the Independent Bible Church of Duryea and served the Lord in every way she could. She loved children and enjoyed helping in the nursery at church.
Helen was an excellent gardener, seamstress, and baker of bread, nut roll and poppyseed on every Christmas and Easter. She worked hard daily and joyfully helped everyone.
She was preceded in death by her husband William Sr., and all her siblings: Mary Williams, John Baron, Peter Baron, Anthony Baron, Anna Figura, William Baron and Margaret Romano.
Helen is already deeply missed by her sons, William, Jr. (Rose Ann), Stephen (Christine) and Joseph (Donna); grandchildren, William III (Renee), Holly, Michael (Jenny), Dr. Amanda, Laura and Joseph Jr. (Ann Marie); great-grandchildren, Hannah and Nadalee Foersch, Giavanna, Isabella, Sophia and Summer Mudlock; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
