One of my very favorite great aunts who I shared a love of family history with and visited her and Ken in their Arizona home for two vacations. She will always be greatly missed and loved.

Aunt Helen was my God Mother and as a child I referred to her as my "Fairy God Mother". She is now my Guardian Angel as well.

Ron and Mary Ellen Durbin
Ron and I were so honored and privileged to be close to Helen, and to care for her in the last five years, since her beloved husband, Ken died. Helen was 5 days short of her 96th birthday, and was eager to celebrate her birthday party. Instead God called her home. She died very peacefully, and now is home with the Lord. May she rest in peace, and may her memory always be a blessing to those who knew and loved her. Ron and Mary Ellen Durbin
