From the family home on Admiral Place, in Elmira, Helen attended and graduated from St. Patrick School. Helen worked various jobs prior to marriage…she was a waitress at the old Newberry's in downtown, a factory worker at the Bendix Plant in Elmira Heights, before finding her true vocation…loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
