My thanks to Helen’s son Ed for letting me know of Helen’s passing. Helen was a roommate and good friend during our days at Penn State. I will always remember those days, and Helen’s sweet smile and cheerful nature.

My condolences for the loss of a lovely woman whom I was lucky enough to have for a HomeEc teacher in Hackettstown in the 70’s….she instilled in me a love of sewing and baking which I still do love….she was a wonderful and kind teacher and I always thought she was beautiful 🙂 God bless her and the family who has lost her.
