Read More	Aztec, N.M. - Former Eagle Butte and Mission resident, Helen Todd, left this life on Jan. 15, 2007, at her home in Aztec, N.M. Although in ill health the last couple of years, Helen lived a full, rewarding life and left many friends and family to mourn her passing. Helen Hammond was born in Johnstown, Neb., Oct. 26, 1920, to William H. and Maude Mathewson Hammond. As a toddler, her family moved to a farm about six miles east and two miles south of Mission. Helen attended school in a one-room school close to her home through grade school, then high school in Mission. After high school graduation in 1937, she attended Huron College and got her bachelor's in education in 1941. Helen met Cecil Todd while teaching in Lakeview, S.D., and they were married June 18, 1943. Their two daughters were born while they were teaching at the Rosebud Boarding School east of Mission. Helen enjoyed her employment as a teacher with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, where she taught second grade for over 30 years. Both Helen and Cecil retired from the BIA in 1972 after spending 12 years in Eagle Butte. The friends they made during this time were many and Helen was still in touch with many of these great people. In 1973, they bought a home in Glen Ellen, Calif., and spent many happy years gardening, traveling, playing bridge and spending quality time with family members from both of their families. While in Glen Ellen, they were active members of Trinity Episcopal Church, Sonoma, Calif. Helen was responsible for starting a thrift store at the church and was so proud that the funds raised put a new roof on the church. In 1990, they sold their home in California and had a home built in Albuquerque, N.M., to move closer to their grandchildren. They lived in Albuquerque until 2001 and were active members of Hope Episcopal Church. After Cecil's death in 2001, Helen moved to Aztec to be closer to her daughter Marsha and her children. Helen was a member of Eastern Star Chapter 126 in White River, S.D., for over 50 years. While in Eagle Butte, Helen was a member of Dakota Club and enjoyed their efforts in supporting the library there and the friendship of fellow members. Helen is survived by her two daughters: Susan (Gerry) Edasi and Marsha (Wayne) Wood, both of Aztec, N.M.; two nieces: Cheryl (Dan) Conklin, Reno, Nev., and Janice Kelly, Aurora, Colo.; one nephew, William Skinner, Sacramento, Calif.; three grandchildren: Nicole (Keenan) Toward, Aaron Briggs and Jared Briggs, all of Aztec; and two great-grandchildren: Elyssa and Mackenzie Toward, who were her biggest delight in her final years. Helen was preceded in death by her husband Cecil, her parents, her only sibling, Louise Skinner and her niece, Valerie Skinner. We miss you as do your many loyal friends but know you are with your Lord and Savior. Helen and Cecil's ashes will be taken back to South Dakota in the spring where a part of Helen's heart always remained, and will be interred after a family memorial service. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, people make a small contribution to the charity of their choice. Published in the Aberdeen News on 1/18/2007.
