She was a singer and pianist in the church choir and loved to make clocks and other crafts with her daughter Linda Lou. She has good memories of her daughter Linda Lou's friends, which included the actor Robin Williams, whom Linda Lou taught to play guitar, Harry Connick Jr. and his wife Jill Goodacre, and Pauly Shore, whom she remembered as a "wisecracker". Linda Lou was also a musician and Helen loved listening to her cassette tapes. She worked at American Funds in Brea, CA, where she was a data entry clerk for many years, back when computers still used tape with hole punches. In world war 2 she was a riveter for airplanes. There was a bomber named after her, the Hellen Allen bomber, and had a picture of her painted on the plane. She donated regularly to the ASPCA, loved animals, had many dogs and cats, and even a goat named Donovan, after the famous singer. She and her husband donated food to the needy every holiday, and never turned away anyone in need of help. She will be missed by many of her family and friends.
