She is survived by her daughter Christyne Heinrich and her son Kurt (Carolyn) Heinrich; seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren who adored her.
Helen was preceded in death by her husband, Bill Heinrich; her brothers, Everett (Jack) Griffin, Raymond Griffin and Donald Griffin, and sisters, Beverly Radloff and Jean Lowry.
