Following graduation, she got her nursing certificate and became a registered nurse in Pittsfield for a short period. She was a dedicated and proud nurse. Although she loved being a nurse, she loved being a mother even more. Helen was also a former parishioner at Holy Family Parish in East Taunton for many years.
Helen enjoyed gardening and was a big fan of Boston sports teams, especially the Red Sox. Once Helen had children, she became a homemaker and one of her greatest enjoyments was spending time with her children.
She will be forever remembered by her sons; Robert G. Roy of Bridgewater and Roger G. Roy and wife Alice Chen of Quincy; Her beloved grandchildren; Kristina Medeiros and husband Gary of Taunton, Evan Roy and partner Juli of Fall River and her great-grandchildren; Mackenze, Dexter, Gavin and Alexis.
