Helen graduated from Waldoboro High School, went to college in Connecticut where she met her future husband, Ernest, who was in the Navy. They married in 1958, moved to Dallas, Texas where they raised four children.
Helen worked as a secretary until her retirement. Helen loved watching the Texas Rangers, going to estate sales to find beautiful clothes for her grandchildren, and her cats.
