After completing cosmetology school, Helen opened her own beauty shop, which she operated for over 25 years. She was an active member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church who sang in the choir and served as Treasurer for the Altar and Rosary Society for many years. Helen was very close to her daughters and much beloved by her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and others she cared for over the years. She was a talented seamstress and excellent cook who loved to make things for her family. Helen enjoyed gardening, playing cards, watching sports, and making ceramics and other crafts.

She and Ralph frequently took off in their motorhome to various fishing destinations and to visit family in California.
