Recently, dementia affected Helen’s cheerful outlook, but she still knew everyone and enjoyed visits and calls, even if she had little to say. Visitation will be on Saturday, February 22, 2020, at 10 AM at Holy Family Catholic Church, followed by Mass of the Christian Burial at 11 AM. Burial Stow Cemetery.
