Helen and Hugh loved traveling up and down the East Coast in their motorhome, camping at every state park they could find.

In her younger years, she spent summers with her cousins in New Jersey. Additionally, she enjoyed yearly trips with her "Sorority Girls" that she had been friends with since elementary school. She worked for many years and retired from the Phoenixville Hospital. Most importantly, Helen loved time spent with family, hosting family holidays and taking her grandchildren camping.
