Helen George of Pembroke Pines, Florida died on Saturday, January 16, 2016 surrounded by loved ones. She was 99.
Helen Irene Kelly George was born on January 11, 1917. Her early years were spent in the East Orange area with her mother Madaline and her sister Ethel. In 1938 she married Karl George. Together they had seven children and settled in Pequannock Township. Charter members of the Pequannock Reformed Church Couples’ Club, both Helen and Karl enjoyed their church and local events with their family and friends. As the family grew, Helen became a Nurses’ Aide and worked in Chilton Memorial Hospital’s emergency room for many years.
When the Georges relocated to Florida, she continued her hospital work, proud that she was able to provide help and comfort to the injured and sick. She was again involved with her local church and began to welcome sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and eventually great-great-grandchildren into her world. Along with her growing family, Helen loved activity and could often be found in the midst of a card game or cooking for an impromptu party. An expert with yarn, Helen was constantly knitting gorgeous personalized items for her fortunate loved ones.
After retirement, Helen remained active and began travelling with her sister and their cousin Jeanne. Affectionately known as “The Silver Foxes,” the trio shared adventures across the United States and beyond. Daily walking or swimming provided exercise and contributed to continued good health throughout her days. Her strength of faith and love of life served as positive influences to everyone who knew her.
Helen was predeceased by her daughters Karlyn and Arlene, her son Ronald, her sister Ethel, and her husband Karl. She is survived by her daughters Helen, Cheryl and Karen, her son Kurt, 27 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren.
