Meet
Helen
Helen was born in Carver, Kentucky.
Her family moved to
Starke County, Indiana
in 1941. Helen is the oldest of 10 siblings, seven brothers and three
sisters. Helen has
spent the majority of her life serving others in the
Starke
County area.
In 1972, she and her husband purchased a restaurant,
where she was head chef and chief bottle washer.
Helen also owned and operated a Teen Club in Knox.
Her idea behind the Teen Club was to promote activity for
adolescents in the area.
Opened 7 days a week, kids were invited to meet and
mingle. Live band
dances were held every Friday and Saturday night.
In 1980, Helen had the call to help once
again. This time
she enrolled in CNA classes.
She began her career at Countryside and in November 1984
she joined the team at
Wintersong
Village.
At that time Wintersong Village
had ten residents and Helen’s pay rate was $3.75 an hour.
Helen enjoyed her position as a CNA.
She loved the residents and according to Helen “the
resident’s become part of my family”.
Helen was employed at Wintersong Village
until the fall of 2000, when she accepted a position at another
facility.
Helen retired in 2005, during her
retirement she enjoyed spending times with family and friends.
In late 2005, Helen experienced some health problems and
was admitted to Catherine Kasper Life Care Center for
rehabilitation.
After returning home, Helen enjoyed living with family, but in
2010 she realized that her family could no longer care for her.
In early 2010, Helen became a resident at
Wintersong
Village.
Helen states “I wouldn’t go anywhere else”.
Helen enjoys being a patient at Wintersong Village.
She continues to feel as if all are her family.
She currently serves as the Resident Council President,
and always has a watchful eye ensuring every patient is taken
care of.
Helen has two daughters, seven
grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.
They enjoy coming to visit Grandma on a weekly basis.
