Although Helen lived in Marlton and previously Riverside, her life began in China. Having fled Communist Russia, her parents raised her there. A young Marine named Dante would eventually bring her to the US. It was here she raised her 3 children, and would be later blessed with her 8 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. A kind hearted woman, she was always intent on making other people happy. Whether by using her cooking skills or simply lending an open ear, she was always there for others.rnCome celebrate 88 wonderful years Thursday from 10 AM at Sweeney Funeral Home, Riverside where the service will be at 11.
