Helen graduated from Allerton High School where she was the first and only homecoming queen they had. Helen's other claim to fame was being a contestant on Garry Moore's To Tell the Truth and I've Got a Secret.  Helen and Gene along with Helen (Virgil) and Helen (Albert) Luth traveled via train to New York City to attend the shows.  She and Eugene loved getting together with family and friends to play Euchre or to go bowling.  She was a great artist and was very talented at painting birds and flowers; her two favorite things. When she wasn’t painting, you could find her working in her garden, or out shopping and enjoying herself.
