Helena Beatrice Casey

Helena Beatrice Casey, 89, was called to her eternal resting place on July 2, 2020.

She entered this world on October 10, 1930, in West Palm Beach, FL, born to George and Helena Lamb. She was raised primarily by her father and loving step mother, Libby, and enjoyed adventures with her brother, George Jr. (deceased); and two sisters, Sherry Christman and Georgianna Scantlebury. She is survived by her daughter, Kathleen Casey (spouse Jeanne Bowlan); son, Dennis Casey; (spouse Sally), son Kevin Casey (deceased); granddaughters, Heather McIntyre, children Felicia, Anthony, Brianna; Shelley Casey (Spouse Stiven Usme), child Emiliano; Grandsons Sean Casey, deceased, child Crystal; Charles Casey; and great-great-grandchildren, Verlaine, Ace, Zayden, Sean, Layna; and many nieces and nephews.

She had a gentle but firm hand in shaping all of our lives by holding us to the highest standards.  She attended Logan College of Chiropractic and met the love of her life, Dr. Donald J Casey. They married in 1950 and headed to the wild west of Albuquerque, New Mexico to set up practice and raise their three children and live out their lives. Helen enjoyed the life of a wife of a chiropractor but had her own distinguished career as Executive Director of Consumer Credit Counseling Service for 25 years.

After retiring, Helen and Don enjoyed their grandchildren and great grandchildren until Don passed away in 2005. She enjoyed working as a Registrar Coordinator with Visit Albuquerque and was a member of multiple Boards in her working life as well as an active volunteer life with Risen Savior Catholic Church, Meadows Mobile Home Park, Meals on Wheels, Good Samaritan, as well as helping many seniors with their financial needs in their last years. She truly has earned her wings!

Rosary and Mass will take be celebrated Friday, July 24, 2020, 11:00 a.m. at Risen Savior Catholic Church, 7701 Wyoming Blvd NE.
