Generous in spirit and action, Helen devoted her life to her family. She was born the fourth of five children and was predeceased by them and her husband Jack. She is survived by her sons Nicholas (Diana) and Robert and grandsons Geoffrey, James and Michael as well as the descendants of her siblings.
