Helen enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid golfer.  Her finest accomplishment was a hole in one at the Teugega Golf Club in Rome, NY. She worked for many years as a bookkeeper at Engelbert’s Jewelers in Rome.  She and Bob retired to Myrtle Beach, SC where they enjoyed golf, the warm weather, and the company of many of their friends.
