She resided in Washington, District of Columbia.1,5 Her Social Security Number was 127-38-5884, issued New York.5 She was enumerated on the census in Washington County, Tennessee (1910); Washington County, Virginia (1930.) Helen had a sever stroke in January of 1993. Following several smaller strokes her daughter Betsy wrote a "Family and Friends" letter on April 12, 1993:

The last 48 hours she seemed to be unconscious and did not suffer any pain. The Friday before (we) visited ... she knew us and our last vision of her awake was her pursing her lips in a familiar kiss. She had been paralyzed on the right side and unable to speak since the original stroke Jan 25. She never seemed frustrated or distraught. We were constantly trying to guess, to come up with memories and comments that would be rewarded with recognition. We settled into the new routine. I visited her every day and it was rewarding. I am not one to be depressed by nursing homes. This one was very nice ... It is a sort of twilight existence, yet one that I could have managed for a long time for the privilege of being in B's space. But the truth is it was probably not so great for her, and so this inevitable outcome was better sooner rather than later.
She was opinionated and verbal -- never mealy-mouthed. And yet all who came in touch really enjoyed her and valued that relationship. we will all gather on May 15 at the family cemetery in Westhaven, Connecticut for a memorial service followed by a reminiscence/buffet.
