Helen had a wicked sense of humor and encouraged her nieces and nephews to live life to its fullest. (Get your nose out of that book!) She was the aunt who remembered everyone's birthdays and attended all our graduations, weddings and reunions. Helen was passionate about the Dodgers, Elvis Presley, all shades of purple, and her many collections. In later years she enjoyed taking care of young children at her Lakewood home—many of whom kept contact with their favorite caregiver.
After a short illness, she died at her home with Joe by her side. Funeral service and burial were held September 3rd at Bellevue Memorial Park in nearby Ontario. Among those who spoke were her three nieces, Elta, Nancy and Connie. Helen was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Laurence and John; sisters Audrey Willhelm and Elisabeth Ruminson; and her second husband John Margaretich. She leaves behind her devoted companion Joe Sillivent; seven nieces; three nephews; and their children who will not soon forget their Great-Aunt Helen. Aunt Helen, YOU were the best!
