Helen was an early career woman at a time when few women were. She had a 40+ year career in personnel for the State of New York at the Binghamton State Hospital, Binghamton University, and the Broome Developmental Center.
She was a compassionate caretaker of animals, taking in abandoned cats and adopting dogs. She loved hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, making trips to the Adirondacks and several State Parks. She had a generous heart and a unique sense of humor.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the ED staff and all the compassionate caregivers at Wilson Hospital.
At Helen's request there will be no formal services. Expressions of sympathy in her memory can be made to Every Cat's Dream 2001 E. Main St. Endicott, NY 13760.
