HELENA

Helena, born on Valentine’s Day, carried the heart of the holiday within her soul—a heart that was bold, selfless, and unapologetically full of love. She wasn’t just born into a day of roses and romance; she embodied it. Love wasn’t just something she gave; it was the essence of who she was. Fierce and fiery, her love was never soft or fleeting—it was unshakable, grounded, and loud enough to be felt in the deepest corners of your heart.

Helena, lovingly known as "Mellon Head," was a force of nature—a woman whose voice was as powerful as her love was deep. When she had something to say, she made sure she was heard. Her words carried weight, and her presence could shift a room. Helena had a way of commanding attention, not out of ego, but from the strength of her convictions and the fire in her soul.

She lived a life that revolved around others. Selfless to her core, Helena always put the needs of those around her before her own. Whether you needed a shoulder to lean on or someone to champion your cause, she was there, standing firm with a heart full of love and a determination that could move mountains.

Helena's boldness was her signature. She didn’t just live life—she lived it loudly, authentically, and unapologetically. To those who knew her, she wasn’t just a friend or a loved one—she was an anchor, a protector, and a safe harbor in the storm.

“She was always there for another before herself,” her family remembers. And that was Helena’s essence—putting others first, showing up when it mattered most, and leaving a legacy of care and courage.

Her absence has left a silence that echoes in the hearts of her family and friends. But even in that silence, her voice can still be felt—firm, loving, and unforgettable. Helena was a woman who lived with passion, spoke with purpose, and loved with her whole heart.
