Helenann McCarthy

Sending my deepest sympathy to Helenanne's family. Only knew her a short time, but so privileged to be able to have heard about some of her incredible adventures. What a kind, beautiful. special lady. May she rest in peace.

Helenanne and I were good friends at OLP.. We were in activities together and double date often.We then went to Marquette together, in 1960. I stayed and graduated from MU. We kept in touch, loosely over the years,but always knew were we were, and enjoyed catching up. We talk last after Mar Schmidt Peterson's death this past year. She attended Mar's celebration of life in Tucson, and told me of her plans to move there from California to Tucson. She was a beautiful person, the world has lost a light, My condolences to all who loved her. God BLess Her, may she be eternally happy. Sue Frank Alleva

My deepest sympathy to Helenanne's Family and Friends; as, we have lost a caring and loving person. Helenanne immensely cared and loved her Family; was true to her religion; loved her Irish heritage; and dared to care for her Country! For over 50 years we continuously kept contact--from Madison to Arizona to California and to England and beyond. I thought of her as a combination of "Annie Oakley" and "Auntie Mame" --she always had a project that she was working on, with several adventures waiting in the wings to tackle. She was an eternal optimist with a wonderful infectious laugh. In May, 2020 we were discussing her acquisition plans for a new home in Tucson, AZ and that we would all get together and discuss the "good old days' (that always ended up with a roar of laughter.) God has taken her too soon and has left all of us, I am sure, with a huge void in our lives! May she be eternally happy in the new home that He has chosen for her. God Bless you, Helenanne, and I will forever remember you--until we meet again! Pat Turk, Sacramento, CA
