  1. A beautiful photo of a beautiful woman inside and out. What a privilege to work side by side with her during our mission years together. May you be at peace, dear Helen…Vic and Mary Jane Trinkus

  2. I owe a lot to this wonderful lady, she got me started on missions to Bolivia. She was a terrific sweet person, always working to help others. My condolences to her family, but they have a lot to be proud of!

  3. We have fond memories of Helen. She was our first contact with Partnership in Mission. She was soft spoken and such a hard worker, giving good example to all. Our condolences to her family and friends. Bill and Kate Walsh

  5. I remember Helen helped me as I prepared on my first mission in 2008. She was always soft spoken and a very nice person. May the good Lord grant you eternal peace and happiness.

  6. Helen’s love for the Lord was truly inspiring. I am one of the parishioners at St Scholastica and that’s where I met her. I saw her faith and devotion thru her daily masses and service as a lector. Even during winter time, she did not stop attending mass where others will have excuse not to come to church. She was also my prayer warrior always telling me “ I am praying for your mom.” I will surely miss her in her favorite pew . Her family is truly blessed to have someone like her praying for them.

  7. Helen was beautiful loving & kind hearted women!
    My thoughts and prayers our with you and your entire family at this difficult time.
    Treasure the fond memories forever in your Heart ❤️

  8. Many wonderful memories with Helen. We met when I joined the Council of Catholic Nurses. She was on the board and remained a very active member bringing inspiration, hard work and joy to our group. I miss her and I am very grateful for the honor and privilege of having such a great friend and mentor. Our great sadness at her passing is heavens joyful rejoicing. Praying for Helen, her family and all of those that will miss her.

  9. Helen was one of the people on our mission trips who was so warm and genuine and calm. I loved having time to talk with her about her many experiences on missions. I think of her often and fondly. She is a legend in my mind. My prayers are with you all.
