She volunteered with Hospice, The Red Cross, Matthew’s Mansion, The Food Pantry, FISH and Norwalk Hospital. As well as being part of the West Norwalk Association and the Ladies Guild. The family was very active in Roton Point Beach Club and spent many wonderful summers there. Fortunately during her last week children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews were able to visit in person and by phone. Helen was pre-deceased by her husband, Frank in 1988. She leaves behind her son Kris (Stella), daughter Jane, grandchildren Claudia (Vincent), Kristin (Peter), Erika, Evan (Kristin) and Monica (Rich).
