On Tuesday March 18, 2014, God called our beloved Wife, Mother and Grandmother, Helen Wolczyk, to join him in heaven. She peacefully began her journey home with her family by her side.

Born in Wilkes-Barre, she was daughter of the late Edward and Mary (Shedlock) Dulsky.

Helen was a graduate of Jenkins Township High School and was employed as a Seamstress for Pioneer Dress Factory and was a homemaker all of her life.

She was a member of St. Benedict’s Church, Parsons, the Plains American Legion Ladies Auxiliary, was active in Veterans Affairs, and enjoyed going to the Mohegan Sun.  Helen was an avid gardener and enjoyed growing lots of veggies in her back yard and was a very talented and creative cook.  Family would always gather for many of her delicious meals, especially at the holidays.  We are fortunate that she taught her children some of her unique recipes.  We have many wonderful memories of her and her generous nature to always wanting to be there for her children and grandchildren whenever they needed her. Helen was always supportive of, took pride in, and loved her family very much.  She took care of us very well and will truly be missed by all.
