Born in Malden, Massachusetts on December 20, 1929, to the late Paul and Myrtle (Stuart) White.  She attended the Trade High School for Girls in Boston where she concentrated her studies in Sewing and Home Economics.  She met her loving and devoted husband, Albert P.

Helen was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt.  She lived a full life brimming with love, travel and laughter.  She and Albert spent time traveling by RV to various states, especially Florida, where they met up with friends through Good Sam Club.  Helen loved to read, play cards, Bingo (especially at the Vic Geary Center in Plaistow) and visited many Casinos throughout her years.  She also loved to crochet, knit and sew.
