Helen is survived by her children: Karen Weil Loftus (Steve), Janet Weil Davis (Steve), and Mark Weil (Lisa). She leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Kelly Loftus Stone (Ryan), Ryan Loftus, Kristen Weil Sturgis (James), Kenneth Weil, and Travis Weil; and two beloved great-grandchildren, Jovie Stone and Jack Weil Sturgis.

Helen enjoyed playing bridge and travelling. Helen's legacy lives on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
