Helen was born, raised and educated in Somerville. She was the daughter of the late Arthur and Mary (McGuiness) Donnelly. Helen worked as a Billing Clerk at H. P. Welch Co. as well as both Syms Hospital and Choate Hospital retiring when she was in her 70’s. Helen led a full and active life and she was not one to sit idle. She had her daily routine which consisted of working out at Curves or Planet Fitness at 7 a.m., then 9 a.m. Mass at St. Barbara’s Church followed by “coffee” with her friends at MacDonald’s. Every Friday evening was a visit with her friends to Bickfords in Burlington where they would have dinner and listen to the Irish Music. Helen had a close relationship with her sister Dorothy who she spent much time with. Saturday’s were set aside for her daughter Carole who suffered from MS . Carole’s husband would drop them off at the Mall and they would shop together and have lunch. At the age of 80 Helen took the first of many trips, with her son Michael and daughter in-law Pat together with Pat’s mother Fran Considine, which was to San Francisco and this also happened to be her first trip on an airplane. She made many visits to New York City, one of which was for her 85th birthday. Helen’s last trip was to visit her grandson Michael in Texas. She was very much a part of all her grandchildren and great grandchildren’s lives. Helen was blessed to have lived a wonderful life and leaves a legacy of love, family, faith and friendship.
