Duchess, as she will forever be affectionately known, was a caretaker to anyone who needed her whether they were family, friends, or neighbors. Her generosity knew no bounds.
An avid crocheter, Helen spent hours creating priceless family heirlooms that will continue to be enjoyed and passed down in our family, along with stories of her talent and generosity, for years to come. In addition to crocheting, our beloved Duchess derived great joy from planning social events for her cherished friends. Her faith was a driving factor in her life, and for over twenty years, her weekly prayer group meetings were a highlight of her week.
