Helen's Story
Helen was named after two exceptional women, her Aunt Helen and her
Grandmom Ebner. Helen was a unique gift to our family. Rarely did you see
Helen without a smile on her face. Her infectious laughter resounded throughout
our home. Though appearing shy and very petite, Helen was dynamite.
Challenge was no stranger to Helen. Try being the youngest of seven and you will
understand.
School came easy for Helen. She did very well when she wasn’t clowning
around. Music and dance were not on her roster but if there were, Helen would be
an honor student. After high school, Helen enrolled in a special technical school.
She was challenged with being the only female in her class. In the workplace,
she constantly had to prove herself. Working in a basically male occupation was
challenging.
Kindness was one of Helen’s greatest virtues. Nothing was too much for her.
She dearly loved her nieces and nephews and enjoyed being a “kid” with them.
The blizzard of the century was Helen’s wedding day. She married and settled in
their home in Rockledge. Over the years, Helen enjoyed the mythical, magical
world of fantasy. She enjoyed collecting things and playing War Hammer and
Dungeons and Dragons. Bowling was another hobby Helen enjoyed although
she claimed she was not a very good bowler. Helen loved dogs. If she could, she
would have had a houseful. Her two dogs, Penny and Logan held a special place
in her heart.
Health became Helen’s greatest challenge. She courageously put up a long,
hard fight against breast cancer and never complained. Because Helen always
thought of others, she rarely allowed anyone to know just how she felt.
Her father often told her growing up “Good Things Come in Small Packages”. In
Helen’s case, this was so very true. Our family loved Helen dearly and will miss
her terribly.
Love you always Helen,
Mom
