I was always impressed with Helen’s French classes at Marian U. She spoke with such elegance and she made you feel accepted and appreciated. In community I remembered her laugh and quick wit. She was truly a special lady!

I remember her voice soft like a cloud
When I had the privilege of serving as Dean of Students at Marian Sr. helen was a supporter of our student service programs. While not always in mutual agreement she offered objective advise and counsel that helped me in formulating and implementing programs/services. I had the greatest respect for her. May God have taken her soul immediately into eternal peace with him.

Sister Augustine, as I knew her while a student at Scecina, was the best teacher that I ever had. I had the chance to tell her at one of the Scecina reunions, she was so pleased. Fly high Sister Helen, you were the very best
