October 25, 1934 - November 14, 2020 Helen was granted her angel wings on November 14, 2020 at the age of 86. Her final days were spent at her home in Ontario, surrounded by Donald Blasco, her adoring husband of sixty-six years, and her family.

Helen was a lifelong resident of Ontario, her parents owned the Fountain Winery on Holt Boulevard and many of her lifelong friends are from the Guasti Vintners and families. Helen graduated from Chaffey High school in 1952. Helping to organize reunions for her graduating class was something Helen treasured. Helen went on to attend Chaffey Jr. College where she met her husband Donald Blasco, graduated in 1954 and was married later that year. Donald and Helen were united in marriage on September 4, 1954 at St. George's Church in Ontario. Prior to starting a family in August of 1955, Helen worked at Convair in Pomona.
