Helen was instrumental in starting the Flemington Rescue Squad, serving as their first secretary, and was in the first graduating class of nurses' aides when the Hunterdon Medical Center opened in 1953. She also volunteered for the American Red Cross, Franklin Township PTA, and Hunterdon County Health Services. Along the way she met and made many lifelong friends, had a special gift for encouraging others and was known for her smile.
Helen was a faithful member of Amwell Church of the Brethren in Sandbrook and regularly made the trip back to Hunterdon County to visit her many friends even after moving to be closer to her daughter in Downingtown, Pennsylvania in 2002. She was especially close to the Cervenka family, owners of Cervenka Farms on Klinesville Road. Even in Pennsylvania, however, she continued to love and serve others by volunteering with Meals on Wheels and the Lord's Pantry.
Helen was the beloved mother of two daughters, Sherie and Jane and five grandchildren.
