SHIRLEY: Helen Doris Kramer, born on March 12, 1935, in Berlin, New Hampshire, passed away on July 1, 2026. She was the beloved daughter of Doris and Leon Pennock and the cherished sister of Rennie.
Helen was a kind, bright, and compassionate women whose greatest joy was her family. She is survived by her four children, Vicki, John, Andy, and Jeff; her six grandchildren, Justin, Tim, Franklin, Rachel, Jonathan, and Atticus; and her three great-grandchildren, who lovingly knew her as “Mimi.” She is also survived by her niece and nephew, as well as their children, all of whom she held dear.
Helen enjoyed a long and successful career as a Director with Mary Kay Cosmetics, where her dedication and leadership earned her the company’s iconic pink Cadillac—a milestone she was incredibly proud of.
In retirement, Helen continued to serve her community through volunteer work at the senior center, library, and local fire and police departments. She had a generous heart and found happiness in helping others whenever she could.
An avid baker and passionate gardener, Helen delighted family and friends with homemade treats and took great pride in cultivating a beautiful yard that bloomed each summer. Her gardens became a welcoming haven for countless birds, bringing her endless joy and reflecting the warmth and care she shared with everyone around her.
Helen will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, unwavering love for her family, and the joy she found in both the simple pleasures of life and in caring for those around her. Her legacy lives on through the family she cherished and the many lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
A graveside service will be held on Saturday, October 10, 11:00 AM, with the Reverend John A. Weatherly officiating at the Glenwood Cemetery, Littleton.
