I was Helen‘s tour guide at the titanic museum. She told me how her family joked that when she retired she could be a tour guide, and she was right. It was more than halfway through the tour before I said something she didn’t know about Titanic. She also told me about how her mother was a nurse to a titanic survivor, but she didn’t know his name. I did. I was able to show her his picture and tell her more of his story. We cried and took pictures together. When I found out that that was her last day… I cried again. I am so honored that she spent that time with us and that I got to know Miss Helen.

Helen always put the students first! I worked with her when she was a Tri-County para in Fredonia and a teacher in Fredonia. We always kept in touch after that and I loved her smile! I know she missed her mom and so glad she got to take her Titanic field trip with students! Will miss her......Amy Brown

Helen was such a wonderful person. We always had the greatest times together. She was a gifted educator and absolutely loved each and every one of her students. She will be greatly missed. She's reunited with her Momma again. Rest high my friend.

The Titanic Museum crew were sadden when we learned of the passing of Helen. The tour guides that took her students through the museum talked about how kind and passionate she was to her students.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family, teachers and students.
God Bless all of you.

Helen hosted my first friend sleepover in elementary school (we were in the same class). She continued to include me in communications throughout the years. I listened when she needed an ear, and she was always available to listen too. I will miss her cheerful smile and kind attitude toward everyone. God bless my friend and those lives she made better by being here.
