Helen was employed by the City of St. Martinville for 28 years. Being civic and community minded, she was proudly selected as a recipient of the Outstanding Young Women of America Award for her accomplishments and service to her community, country and profession. She served as an election worker and as secretary for the Planning and Zoning of St. Martinville for many years.

Beyond her professional achievements, Helen was a devoted mother and beloved granny.

She enjoyed cooking, gardening, and most of all spending time with her family. She was quite the Bourre' player and enjoyed getting together with the ladies for an afternoon of card playing. She also loved fishing and spending time with her great grandchildren.

She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for her vibrant and feisty spirit, her boundless energy, and her unwavering faith in God.

Special thanks to the compassionate staff at Landmark of Acadiana.
