During retirement Andy and Helen travelled extensively throughout the US with the Moose Camper Club. In 1996 they built a home in Delta on the shore of the Gunnison Bend Reservoir, where they lived for the last 18 years. In 47 years, they were never apart. Helen was preceded in death by her beloved husband, parents, brothers Scott, Jay and LaCohn, sister Mary, daughters Rosemary and Julie, sons Scott, Steve and Lane, grandson Cary Peterson, and granddaughter Karyl Thompson.

The family would like to thank the Millard Care and Rehab, Sandy Health and Rehab, and One Care Hospice for their loving care.
With Helen's passing this world has lost a truly rare soul, one who loved unconditionally and completely, who never hesitated when family was in need, always kind and never judging others. Helen was the epitome of all that is good and caring in a person and she will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. Enjoy the dance with Andy, mom.
