Helen Louise (nee Yacyshyn) Daniels, age 88, of Wayne, died quietly and peacefully on Saturday, June 3, 2006 while receiving the loving care of her family.

Helen was born in Passaic and lived in Brooklyn, NY. It was there that she met and married the love of her life, John A Daniels, in 1939. They lived in West Hempstead, NY with their children Robert and Emily for three years before moving to Wayne, forty seven years ago. Helen and John were blessed with fifty happy years of marriage before his passing.

Helen was a unique and incredible woman with many interests. At a young age she became an open cockpit airplane pilot and was a piano player with the 1930 Phil Spitalney’s All Girl Orchestra. She was an Agatha Christie devotee, a Ranger’s fan and a legendary fox trotter. She had a passionate interest in History and World Events and spent many an hour reading and learning. An oral history lesson from Helen was always informative, fun, and not to be missed!

Helen was a devout Catholic, a disciple of Jesus Christ, and a good friend of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph. She was a parishioner of Holy Angels RC Church, Little Falls, and formerly of Immaculate Heart of Mary, Wayne.

Helen was a constant believer in her children Robert and Emily, her grandchildren Robert, Elizabeth, Andrew, Michael, Christina, and Timothy, and her family.

Surviving are one daughter Emily Marcelli and her husband Robert of Wayne; cherished grandmother of Bobby, Betsy and Tim Daniels, Andrew, Michael and Tina Marcelli; Beloved sister of Rudy Yacyshyn of New City, New York.

Helen and John Daniels had a “blessed” marriage together for fifty years before John’s passing in (1988). She was also predeceased by her son Robert Daniels in 1995.

For those planning an expression of sympathy, in Helen’s memory, are asked to consider St. Francis’ Breadline, c/o St. Francis of Assisi Church, 135 West 31st Street, NY, NY, 10001.
