A lifelong resident of the West Bank, member of St. Rosalie Church, and long time employee of Maison Blanche, Helen lived with class, dignity, and vigor.

Eternally devoted to her family, her loyal caretaker Elena, and her little dog Joy, Helen lived each day by her mantra, "Time is not measured by the years we live, but by the deeds we've done and the joy we give."
