HELEN JALLER Obituary


Helen Cowan Jaller  
On Saturday, March 28, 2020, Helen Cowan Jaller of Potomac, Maryland. Beloved Wife of the late Dr. Michael Jaller; devoted mother of Dr. David Jaller (Ulrike), Dr. Daniel Jaller (Dori), and Amy Jaller Gleklen (Jonathan); adoring grandmother of Kathryn, Daniel, Anna, Sara, Aaron, and Jeri Jaller and of Brandon, Ryan, Jamie, and Mia Gleklen. Helen, who worked as a journalist and later as the office manager of her husband's medical practice, devoted her life to her family. A lover of animals, a strong supporter of the State of Israel and many charities, and an avid reader, Helen took full advantage of every day of her 94 years, greeting each day with her trademark sense of humor. Helen was buried on March 30 in a private ceremony, and her family plans to celebrate her life at a later date

I am so sorry to hear of Helen's passing. Although I am not a family member, I feel that I know so much about all of the Jallers. I believe it was 1976 when I first started working inside of the house and met Helen and Mike. Peace be with the entire family Doug Castner

Am very sorry for the loss of your Mother Mrs. Jaller. It was my pleasure to work for Mrs. Jaller at her beautiful home for 25 years. I dearly miss Mrs. Jaller, she is a very special person for me, throughout my life. She was so nice, and kind. I will always keep her in my beautiful memories and in my heart. RIP Mrs. Jaller.
