After graduating from Fort Fairfield High School, she took a year off before attending Central Maine General School of Nursing in Lewiston, Maine.  After graduation, she and a couple of her friends headed to west for an adventure and loved California so much she decided to move there in 1963.  She met and married her husband and eventually completed her Masters Degree in Nursing while working at Los Robles Regional Medical Center.   Helen served in many capacities as a nurse as well as an Administrator.  Shorty after the death of her husband she decided to move back East to Myrtle Beach, SC as an Administrator at the local hospital.  After two years, she moved back to her beloved State of Maine working at Inland Hospital in Waterville, Maine.  After retirement, she moved to Rio Rancho, NM to be near her family.
