Helen's words of wisdom may have passed on with her. I know for one, I will keep them in my heart forever. She was a dear co-worker and a dear friend for many years. To say a void was left in your heart seems lacking in so many ways. Helen wrote in her last Christmas card, "I will be 100 this year." How I wish you had been able to celebrate that milestone here on earth. I hope you celebrated wherever you are with friends and family, and you are now surrounded by those loved ones who passed before you. You will be missed.

Wade, Helen and Claudia in Helen's apartment in Riderwood.
I always spoke to Helen about Dorinda Duck who was on her shelf outside KC 18, her apartment at Riderwood Village. We enjoyed the many Seasonal outfits her little duck had.
Interestingly, I found out Helen had gone to Eastern HS with a relative of mine so her Baltimore roots provided a good conversation topic!
Helen will be missed by many Residents here at King’s Court!
My condolences to her family. ❤️
From Claudia,
My birthday is 4/1, so Helen and I celebrated together! Sometimes it was in August. Sure loved her! ❤️ Condolences to us all.

Helen is also survived by other significant family members and pseudo family members who were a big part of Helen's life. They are Jessica's wife Stacey Lituchy and her mom Helene Lituchy, Walt Wheeler and Jeanne DiCipua, pseudo son and daughter, and Bette Brown (who coined the term pseudo family) and her husband Ken and daughter Lindsey.
We will miss Helen every day.
