The dowhopoluk family sends our heartfelt condolences for the passing of “ auntie Helen “. Auntie Helen can only be described as a kind, caring, generous, and very special person to all her family and friends. We truly appreciated her close relationship with our matriarch “Polly” with whom she travelled on many trips and vacations . Rest in peace after a long and meaningful life.

Our condolences to you and your family Betty. When she resided at Park Manor your mom always brought a smile to my face. She always made sure she said Hi to Al and me. She was baking oatmeal chocolate chip cookies one day, the cookies made the hallway smell so good…….. she put four cookies in a ziplock bag and left them on a table in the common room.

What a wonderful lady who we loved so much. Through the circumstances of life, we only knew her in later years. Auntie Helen was so welcoming and kind even with health challenges. She will be missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to Betty and all those close to her. Wish we could have been there to celebrate a life well lived.
