Helen (Pich) Boukus, 90, of New Britain, passed away peacefully on Monday (August 17, 2009) at Jerome Home.
Born on October 21, 1918 in New Britain, she was the daughter of the late Michael and Anna (Prestash) Pich. Helen was the wife of the late Charles P. Boukus.
Helen grew up in New Britain and graduated in 1938 from New Britain High School. She met and married the love of her life Charles and together they raised a family. A dedicated and hard working employee, she worked as an assembler and an inspector for The Stanley Works until her retirement in 1980. Through her work, she was a member of the Stanley Club along with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
After retirement, she moved to Virginia to spend time with family there and eventually moved back to Connecticut to be closer to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her family was the center of her life and she enjoyed making quilts for them and baking her famous apple pies.
She loved to travel with her family and Ocean City was a frequent destination. Her faith was also a part of her life as a former member of Holy Cross Church and a member of Our Lady of Mercy Church. Above all else, she loved her family and will be truly missed by all those who knew her.
