She married Louis Philip Santy Jr in June 1947 (later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple), together they raised three children: Claudia Russell (Eddie), Pam Monson (Lantz) and Gary Santy (Ellen). She lived a life full of love for family, friends and her many animals. She was able to make friends with her natural ability to put people at ease and her tender smile. She touched countless lives and could brighten any situation quickly by pointing out the positive and reminding us of where our blessings come from.

Helen worked for Hyland Dairy and was known for her excellent typing skills. She later worked for many years as a secretary at James Moss Elementary School where she made numerous friends with students and teachers alike and where her kind and gentle nature influenced many.

The family would like to thank the beautiful staff from Encompass Hospice and as Helen would say the “precious” wonderful staff at Harmony Hills for their tender care and compassion for not only helping Helen, but for also helping us through this solemn time.
