Helen Peterson of Boulder passed away on Thursday, September 11, 2008, at the Frasier Meadows Health Care Center, nearly one month before her 97th birthday.
Helen was born in Valley Falls, Kansas, to Edward E. Beauchamp and Lona (Butler) Beauchamp. On September 2, 1934, she married Clarence E. "Pete" Peterson, who preceded her in death on August 26, 1976. As the second of four children born to a Methodist Minister, Helen spent her childhood in numerous towns in Kansas and in New York and New Jersey.
She graduated from Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas, in 1933, where she was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, in which she remained active until the past several years. Throughout the 1930s, she lived and worked in Kansas. During the years of World War II, Helen and Pete, a Captain in the US Army, lived on a number of military bases in the United States and then spent two years in the Panama Canal Zone.
In 1948, they moved to Colorado, where they had spent many happy summers, and settled in Colorado Springs. There, Helen worked as an Administrative Assistant at the Law Mortuary (now Swan-Law Funeral Directors).
Helen and Pete were active members of the First Methodist Church of Colorado Springs, and Helen belonged and served as President of the Colorado Springs Chapter of Pilot Club International, a professional society for business women and world wide service organization.
Helen and Pete retired to Boulder in 1974 to be close to their daughter and her family. After Pete's death, Helen continued to work and was active in community service, but she spent most of her time enjoying her two grandsons, playing bridge, and traveling with friends. She belonged to Mountain View Methodist Church.
Helen is survived by her daughter Pamela Marcantonio and her son-in-law Gianfranco Marcantonio of Boulder and by two grandsons and their families: Giandomenico, Jessica, and Lorenzo Marcantonio of Irving, Texas, and Roberto, Jami, Margot and Arianna Marcantonio of Broomfield.
The family wishes to express its gratitude to Frasier Meadows Retirement Community and to HospiceCare of Boulder & Broomfield Counties for the friendship and care given to Helen for the last three years.
