She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert, her sons, Donald and David, and her only sister Thyra (Case) Witmyer. She is survived by her daughter Janet Willis Sergeant and Son Gary, as well as 12 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren , and 1 great great grandchild.

Helen loved to play bridge with her “bridge club” and was a charter member of the Washington Twp. 49ers E.H. Club.
She, with her husband, owned Robert Willis Horse Racing Stable and they raised and raced standard bred horses for many years.
