owner of Helens Fads & Fashions [1] |
- Helen was known for her spunky personality and an eye for rare dolls and antiques. She spent many years as the owner of Helens Fads and Fashions, where she sold antiques and clothing in the community for over 20 years. Her shop was more than a business - it was a haven of history, a gathering place for friends and a reflection of her unique spirit. Helen did countless fashion shows with vintage clothing in area nursing homes and businesses to bring the past back to life. She enjoyed her doll collection and was a member of the Doll Club in Bridgeport for many years. She and her father as well as her late husband Jim were avid roller skaters. They frequented area skating rinks where they figure skated with lights on their skates. With her CB handle The Blonde Hurricane, she often talked to her dad Bart, known as the Mountain Boy.
