Upon graduation, she enrolled at the business college to learn stenographic bookkeeping and office skills. She got a job at Farmers Mutual Insurance Company. There, she progressed to different positions. She met Joseph Calcaterra who worked at the Burlington Railroad loading, unloading and sorting mail. They were very much in love. She had no ambitions for rising to high positions. She wanted to marry Joe, keep house and raise a family. Helen and Joe married in about 1926-1927. They continued with their work but Helen's joy was her home. Many gatherings were held there. In the summer of 1943 Joe had a setback with his heart damaged by rheumatic fever in his youth. He died at home. Helen was heartbroken. She sold their home and moved back in with her parents. Helen began to put more interest in the insurance business. She later became Vice President and Treasurer of the company and Dwight Perkins was president. She could have been a wealthy woman but whenever anyone was in need she would come to their aid with time and money. She retired at the age of 65. Later, she moved to Sun City, Arizona where her two sisters lived. She then suffered from Alzheimer's Disease and was transferred to Madonna Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, which is where she said she always wanted to be if need occurred. She remained there until her death on March 25, 1985 and is buried beside her husband, Joe at Cavalry Cemetery.
